Life is too expensive, with a minimum salary its not possible hey, i mean i am getting about 26000 per month and just suporting my family and rent but i cant manage, so what about ppl that is earning about 10k per month, that is why most people go the illegal way and buy backdoor electricity or do illegal connectionsDennis Ahrends (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)

I'm signing because this is simply unaffordable for me. I keep my geyser switched off and use the absolute minimum of electricity because that's literally all I can afford. If I have to pay an extra R200 I'll have to go without electricity two weeks of every four. I currently spend R100 per week on prepaid and I can't spend any more. You are asking for more illegal connections to be created because almost everyone is in the same position as me. Please rather concentrate on tackling existing illegal connections to get your revenue back in line.Candida Moon (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)

The middle class are being exploited as majority of taxes, government income, is from the middle class, we are being exploited to an extent where majority are under financial constraint. We are paying or subsidizing the lower income earners with water and electricity yet no relief for us, the R200 monthly charge plus the increase in the rates, refuse, waste and electricity tariffs are going to put many more middle income families into worse of financial situations.Amish Sukdeo (Roodepoort, 2024-07-03)

As a law abiding South African citizen and a Gauteng residence who has not had salary increment in the past 2 years and surviving on one income this will cripple us as a family. Thus, my rejection of the increment which I view it was done in bad faith increment and out of selfish intent whilst disregarding the difficulties residence are facing financially.Makgotso Masehla (Florida, 2024-07-03)

Councils are quick to cut you off for paying a day or two late, yet they owe billions to eskom. This is due to corruption and mismanagement. They are fleecing consumers to cover for what they have stolen.Joseph Kunneke (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)

#276
I feel it is unfair to the citizens of the country to pay for the municipal and government mismanagement. Why should people who can afford to pay be punished. At the same time poor people cannot afford this. The rates increases were approved why do they still need this amount on prepaid meters. They have misled the public for the last time because there no valid & legal reason for this extra expense.Natalie Morta (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)

#282
This is an unacceptable service fee, as it take the power increase to 32.7% and no one has the money for this as there is no jobs in our industry and no one with a job receives this tye of salary increase. Your debt you have made by steeling the money that you cannot pay Eskom back, should not be the citizens problemKevin Olson (Roodepoort, 2024-07-03)
#283
I'm signing because I feel the added cost to the already high cost of electricity is grossly unfair and unwarranted . Paying consumers are being punished to make up revenue shortfalls from non paying citizens , illegal connections and tampered prepaid metersLeslie Kelly (Roodepoort, 2024-07-03)

Totally unfair we unfortunately cannot afford thisClayton Cooper (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)
#303
There was no transparency in implementation of this tariff increase. The service fee was hidden and it's punishment to us pre paid users. This fee makes electricity unaffordable for prepaid users. We changed from post paid to prepaid as a cost saving exercise. This fee means that I will be indebted to city power as my account will in areas every month even when I have enough power for that month and I decide not to buy for that monthGriffiths Kubeka (City of joburg, 2024-07-03)
#304
The fee is ridiculous, it essentially means that we are paying close to 60% more for electricity then we were last year.Octavian Steyn (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)
#305
The monthly service fee is unjust and as an involved community member cannot recall or trace of discussions about this. We only received notification as ward 70 that this was being actioned, with no consultation it seems. The matter needs to be discussed with the people it affects.Christine Msibi (Roodepoort, 2024-07-03)

This is way above affordability and unethical exspecting us to pay a monthly fee where other cities, towns or provinces are not paying. What about the pensioners who is depended on their pension and still have to pay a fee.Delphine Kuhn (Roodepoort, 2024-07-03)

We are already compliant in buying prepaid electricity. So now why should we be obligated to pay service fees whereas some people don't even buy electricity. Cos of living in this country is too high as it is and we cannot afford such rates.Kgomotso Molebatsi (JOHANNESBURG, 2024-07-03)
#331
Because there is no fairness in this decision, especially to citizens that buy electricity and pay their monthly services. What they can do for now is to attend to the root cause that led us to this situation. Thank you.Kemoneilwe heather Kgadiete (Johannesburg, 2024-07-03)

I am not accepting that people already under pressure, jobless, and low prospects must still be required to pay for infrastructure that's been in place for more than 4 decades. The cost of electricity units already takes into account product/generation cost. People are thus expected to pay twice (previous taxes) then the additional fee.

This is an evil inconsidered surcharge. We already struggling to keep up with rising costs and now you're charges this astronomical amount.You are targeting paying prepaid customers instead of ensuring non paying customer do pay for electricity.
This is grandscale thievery because from 275k customers, you will take in almost a R1BILLION per year.
Prepaid customers are your easiest customers, we buy upfront, you don't spend on meter readers, you don't spend on collections and invoices. We ensure you have adequate cashflow.
Stop treating us like it's a sin to be a prepaid customer.
