City of Johannesburg | The costs are insurmountable for residents of the city: Julia Fish
Civil society organisation, Jo'burg Community Action Network has called a proposed surcharge to prepaid electricity customers by the City of Johannesburg irresponsible. This comes as a petition has been circulating on social media, calling on the city to scrap the R200 monthly electricity surcharge- with petitioners saying that NERSA is failing in its energy regulation task in allowing this. Residents say that they were not consulted over the charge, and lamented the strain this will add to the already cash-strapped customers who've also seen increases in electricity, water and sewer tariffs come into effect from the first of this month.

Brilliant response from Outa, thank you Miss Julia & the Team for fighting for our rights ❤
Say what you like about NGOs like OUTA, but this is a major service to the residents of Joburg, and I really wish jobirgers would look past the racial filtering and focused on the initiatives and actions that need ALL our support to give residents of all races and social classes dignity and a liveable standard of life. The CoJ is taking advantage of the racial divisions and using it to shaft everyone…
76 cabinet, ministers, deputies need to be paid. Everything is going to be hiked to cover the exorbitant salaries.
Thank you Outa
Isaac Mangena and City Power' should give us the names of those City of Johannesburg ward councillors that they spoke to and agreed this 😢 we will go pay them a visit
Why this emplimented same time with increase of electricity with 17% that we dont even get from our work places. And its said because townships residents dont pay electricity. And dont u think this will forced residents to connect illegally.
City of Cape town is charging this fix electricity fee last few years, now increased to R245pm
Why do they keep on say R200 rand when the surcharge is R230

200 sounds better than 230. Spit or KY gel?
Thank you for fighting for us we truly can't afford
The hijacked buildings don't such so who are these people being taxed and why are they silent bcz foreigners are living for free
ANC coalition in Jhb is destroying this once City of Gold. Voters really don’t understand corruption and how important their votes are.
I believe Helen. They obviously knew about the deputy ministers but not TWO deputy ministers. % wise might not be high but they should then channel that 30 - 50 million to the NGO's that they stopped funding.
What about East London they have added a surcharge of R465 for pre-paid and R765 I think for normal meters
The ANC start its masipa stories again
Forget RSA it's now IFSA😂😂😂
Crazy.Madness.Charged for wanting to buy electricity.Vula mlomo.
City need to upgrade their security services to include securing hijacked building which house thousands of people who do not pay for service. Izinyoka should not exist if security of power networks is improved. Illegal occupation of high storey building where people are using electricity and water without paying for it. These building are visiting the city millions of rands
