Tariff increases in Westonaria are too much

• Westonaria concerned resident writes:

The tariff increases as proposed by the Westonaria Local Municipality are ridiculous.

Westonaria residents consist of the working class, pensioners and the unemployed.

We are not rich and cannot afford these vast increases.

Most residents are unaware of what these increases entail and that on its own is a problem.

If these rates are implemented, we will be in big trouble financially.

My house was built in 1975 and it is already a financial burden.

If implemented, my rates will increase from R678 to R1856 per month and that is ridiculous.

I cannot keep up.
