Should this not be the correct committee to address this issue, kindly forward to relevant persons. There has been much written about the 2.9% increase. This amounted to R370 on my pension and must be far less for pensioners who retired years ago, Given my rates levies will increase around 30% and electricity at 12% the increase is wholly inadequate. I am enquiring with the possibility that regulations allow for an appeal and adjustment to the percentage increase.
