What hogwash!!!!! New ‘pockets of revenue’ don’t grow on trees!!!! Revenue increases as government becomes more effective and cleaner!!! Ask the DA how to do it!!!

We cant pay more! Ffs! Spend/waste/steal less

They are declining under the weight of incompetence, laziness and corruption.

Nonsense Inept, corrupt ANC mismanagement for decades caused this

And now there are far less tax payers left. Watch them look for new taxes to make up for the losses. This all going downhill fast and sadly there are no actions only plans

Covid or no covid19_service delivery still remain problematic in SA... limpompo and Mpumalanga are still experiencing water supply challenge without knowing the main problem of such failures!

Covid - 19 did nothing

Let’s not blame COVID, please.

South African municipalities creak under the strain of decades of corruption.

And the main cause is fraud theft and corruption on a grand scale Not to mention incompetence

...and so Covid-19 becomes the new Apartheid scapegoat to get blamed for the decay under ANC regime.

The bigest coranoirus is.........THE ANC!

Kak, this has been happening for years andcmainly due to maladministration and corruption.

Identify other sources of revenue really? Are they going to invent some ambiguous line item on the bill or make up some other charge. They can go to hell.

At least they're laying the blame at the correct door - lockdown.

Maybe they should indentify ways of cutting expenditure.

Does this explain all the inflated bills lately, cash flow!

What exactly do they with those revenues because all we see is looting. Our cities are dumps now.

Stop voting yourselves upper band increases.
