Dit blyk uit \u2019n onlangse kennisgewing wat Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit uitgereik het dat die munisipaliteit in geldelike nood is, en die belastingbetalers sien rooi, of soos een inwoner tereg opmerk: \u201chulle tap nou bloed uit \u2019n klip\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die TWK het verlede week op sy Facebookblad die voorgestelde verhoging rakende munisipale dienste bekendgestel. \u201cWeens die onvoorspelbare ekonomiese klimaat en veranderende rentekoerse is dit \u2019n prioriteit vir die munisipaliteit om te verseker dat ons, ons eie gebeurlikheidsplanne [instel] om besigheidskontinu\u00efteit en dienslewering te verseker. Ons wil dus \u2019n kapitaal- heffingvervangingsverhoging voorstel en instel, wat gebruik sal word as finansiering vir die vervanging van verouderende infrastruktuur en ander diensleweringsbehoeftes, in plaas daarvan om op provinsiale en nasionale finansiering sowel as lenings staat te maak,\u201d het die skrywe gelui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die TWK kan hulle nie staatmaak op die betroubaarheid van die provinsiale en nasionale finansiering nie en wil hulle graag selfonderhoudend wees en planne beraam wanneer dit by die vervanging van infrastruktuur kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul voorstel volgens die skrywe is: \u201cTans word ons dienste gehef teen tariewe van 15,1% vir elektrisiteit, 6% vir riool en vullis en 9% vir waterdienste. Benewens hierdie tariewe wil ons graag \u2019n kapitaal- vervangingsheffing van R5 per diens, per maand instel. \u2019n Huishouding wat van al vier dienste gebruik maak, sal \u2019n maksimum van R20 ekstra per maand vir hul munisipale rekening betaal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie voorgestelde bykomende heffing het nie positiewe reaksie van belastingbetalers ontvang nie en inwoners het hul monde daaroor op Facebook uitgespoel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een Facebookgebruiker het ges\u00ea dit lyk of die raad se geldsake nie reg bestuur word nie, terwyl \u2019n ander een s\u00ea die geld is op luukshede soos motors en lyfwagte bestee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met Hermanus Times<\/em> se besoek aan \u2019n woonbuurt in Grabouw het die inwoners hul misnoe\u00eb uitgespreek en ges\u00ea die belastingbetalers in die dorp wat die salarisse van die munisipale amptenare moet betaal, trek aan die kortste ent. \u201cWat van al die uitlanders en die mense van ander provinsies wat net hier kom en grond gryp, \u2019n struktuur opsit, elektrisiteit steel en niks bydra tot die welstand van die munisipaliteit nie? Waarom kan die munisipaliteit nie daar fokus en daardie mense belas nie?\u201d het \u2019n inwoner van Pineview ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Ander inwoner het voorgestel \u2019n interne oudit moet by die munisipaliteit gedoen word om te kyk waar die geld heen verdwyn. \u201cHulle het links en regs geld uitgegee vir lyfwagte, \u2019n duur liggiefees in Caledon, \u2019n talentkompetisie in Grabouw en nog ander. Ek wil weet wat hulle gaan maak as Knoflokskraal-inwoners ook munisipale dienste gaan eis. Die TWK moet mense na die streek lok wat kan bydra tot die welstand van die streek en nie net stemme probeer werf nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens die TWK is hierdie voorgestelde bykomende heffing oop vir openbare deelname en kommentaar en sal dit as deel van die finale begroting aan die raad voorgel\u00ea word. .<\/span> Die publiek word genooi om hul insette oor hierdie bykomende heffing tot 09:00 Vrydag 19 Mei na twkmun@twk.gov.za te stuur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dit blyk uit \u2019n onlangse kennisgewing wat Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit uitgereik het dat
