CAPE TOWN: MAKE YOUR SUBMISSION AND REJECT OBSCENE TARIFF HIKES
The City of Cape Town is proposing sharp tariff increases in its 2025/26 draft budget — from electricity and water to sanitation and refuse collection — and even adding new tariffs.
-
- Electricity up by 27%
- Water up by 7.3%
- Sanitation up by 11.1%
- Refuse collection up by 7.36%
- Property rates up by 7.96%
- NEW sanitation and cleaning tariffs
This isn’t sustainable. And it isn’t fair
The DA shouts about tariff hikes in Joburg and Tshwane—but quietly hits Cape Town residents with even bigger increases:
In Gauteng: “Protect residents from unfair hikes!”
In Cape Town: “Raise everything. No explanation.”
Have Your Say. Reject the Increases!
The City’s draft budget is open for public comment until 2 May 2025. This is your chance to push back.
