I can't afford this mandatory the city is implementing to us. City doesn't consider us the residents. We voted for better life and we are demanding that city must render a quality services to the citizens of Joburg. I can't afford and I am a single parent who is paying a University fees for my child and the last is in grade 12. City must put people life first..Priscilla Dabane (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

This is daylight robbery. We can barely get by as it is and then they want us to pay more for electricity.Cassandra De klerk (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

There are no jobs already people are starving from hunger that is why we have such a huge population with Diabetes. As a nation we are dying from poverty sicknesses because we cant feed ourselves but we have to scrape money to feed the vet cats living the lives of the rich and famous on our tax money. Other countries do not pay tax because the food has already been taxed.Reduce the pay of the government officials to pay these tariffs. Our pensioners can not even buy proper food with the little money they receive and you still want them to pay R200 extra on lights. No man who comes up with this rubbish. Do you guys even do the ground work to see how people are really trying to survive in this land? Go do your homework 😥😡

This is unacceptable we have nothing to do with previously unpaid electricity. We are using meter boxes we buy before usage. This is exhortation period. And this 12% increase proposed is ridiculous. We don't even get 5% increase on our salaries.Camagwini Carol Silevu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

We've been fleeced either exorbitant electricity increases n multiple outages for far too long! The fixed charge was never publicly disclosed for consultation. This along with the huge per unit charge increase amounts to far more than the 12.7 % increase stated. We already pay fsr more per unit than post- paid users n this is way beyond what the average cash strapped South African can afford!Lara Bonetto (Northcliff, 2024-07-05)

I am a single father who has 2 children in pre primary school. With school fees, living costs, food prices, rent, etc going up every year, this is just another living expense that is just unaffordable. Basics such as water and electricity should not be unaffordableDonovan de Jager (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

I cannot afford a to pay an extra R200 monthly on my electricity. We are already paying so much for electricity then it has just gone up so now I get less units as before then I still have to add R200 a month. It's absolutely ridiculous that in this country we pay so much for utilities and it's hard enough to try and buy food to eat let alone having to afford water and electricity.Hamida Jordan (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

I feel that it is a day light robbery from City Power to enable them to continue with irregular expenditure to make their comrades tenderprenuer rich at our expense. Its such an insult not to even communicate with usThembi Tshabalala (Alveda Ext, 2024-07-05)

I am not happy with the fee that is demanded by City power. It's unacceptable. There are people who are not paying electricity, why don't you go after them to pay electricity. Only people who do the right things always suffer. Why?Mukovhe Thandavhathu (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

Oh The city received payment up front for electricity not yet used so does not be the burden of collections and billing. This saving should be enough to offset any further maintenance and operations needs. The tariff also already has this built into it so why th extra charge?Rosalie Manning (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

I’m signing because CityPower is unfairly and without consultation introducing exorbitant unaffordable price increases without consultation and not delivering on services… load reduction only at COJ is also unfairly introduced because COJ do NOT DO their JOBS to deal with un paying customers and illegal connections and now they want to across the board penalise everyone..AND OVERCHARGE the publicMarcia Barkley (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

We cannot afford to pay the increases with the middle man, while paying everything else and in turn getting very low units. The fact that we’re filling in the gap for people who don’t pay for electricity but are enjoying the perks is just criminal.Busisiwe Vilakazi (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)

Electricity is not stable as it is, it goes off anytime even though there's no loadshedding. Why should we pay for R200 in this economy. Things are expensive as it is. Why add more when our salaries are at the same rate. Why should we suffer more.Dikeledi Mavuya (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)
#5544
I'm signing because the price increase on electricity does not make sense at all, where is the logic behind buying 100 electric and only get 33.10 units and the service fee for 200.We are not working and how are we supposed to afford electric.
I feel that we are been taken for ride and it is not fair

I am signing the petition as the monthly fee is should never be implemented, due to VAT already charged after purchase as well as the consumer not even using the full amount purchased.Myron Martin (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)
#5551
I feel the charge is an unfair form of taxation on those users who actually pay for electricity and effectively a subsidy to cover City Power deficit caused by all those consumers who steal or freeload use of electricity without paying for it.Jane Eagle (Johannesburg, 2024-07-05)
