The first R15 000 of the market value of all residential properties is legislatively impermissible for the charging of property rates, and a further valuation reduction of R135 000 is granted by the City for charging property rates.

Furthermore, the social package is extended to all properties valued at R150 000 and below. The residential tariff is the baseline tariff, which determines the ratios of some of the other tariffs. The rate ratio of residential to agricultural and public benefit organisations is legislatively determined to be 1:0,25. 2

I would also like to commend community members who saw it fit not to take the law into their hands but to call us as the police,” Colonel Tabane said. Colonel Tabane added that the battle of getting rid of illegal firearms continues and it can only be won through community assistance.”We can only remove illegal firearms through collaboration with the community. If you notice a suspicious-looking person carrying a firearm, inform us so that we can arrest them and make sure that we live in a safer environment without any fear,” Colonel added. Both suspects are set to appear at the Soshanguve Magistrate’s Court in due course facing charges of possession of an illegal firearm and armed robbery.

By Collen Khorommbi Soutpan residents in Winterveldt are still living in the dark following the disconnection of the electricity system. They are now in the third week without electricity since the ward 24 councilor promised to resolve the problem. This is after Eskom decided to disconnect their services in other parts of Winterveldt. Pensioner William Maluleke (65) who lives in Soutpan said that he has been waiting for feedback from Ward 24 Councilor Christopher Masia as he promised the community. He said that the ward councilor is ignoring his call after calling him several times and it is very maddening. “We held a meeting at Dube Community Hall about the electricity issue and he promised that he will speak with The City of Tshwane officials and get back to us but he did not. I’ve called him many times and he is not answering my calls”, Maluleke said. Furthermore, Maluleke said that rumours are saying that the electricity is not restored because few people within the area are paying for electricity. He explained that Soutpan is dominated by informal settlers and houses that have meter boxes are few. “Residents agreed and are ready to pay for meter boxes, but the councilor is nowhere to be found. The area had two places where we buy electricity, Mahlangu and Bafana Bafana supermarkets that are not selling anymore. The councilor knows this issue, but he is on mute. The community believed in him but now he is playing hide and seek game”, Mahlangu added. This issue is also affecting area such as Checkers, Mathye and Matshingilane communities in Winterveldt.
