Volgens organiseerders van die optog teen verhoging van kragpryse, gee die burgemeester van Kaapstad nie om vir arm mense van die metro nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die veldtog \u201cOnwettige kragpryse moet val\u201d het Saterdag (26 Augustus) momentum gekry toe inwoners van oor die metro voor die burgersentrum byeengekom het om \u2019n memorandum oor hul ongelukkigheid aan amptenare te oorhandig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Sandra Dickson, een van die organiseerders, het die Stad sewe werksdae om op di\u00e9 eise te reageer. Ongelukkigheid spruit uit die Stad se verhoging van 17,6% in elektrisiteitstariewe, terwyl die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika (Nersa) 15,1% goedgekeur het. Verskillende organisasies en politieke partye het tydens die oorhandiging ges\u00ea hulle gaan nie ophou tot die Stad sake \u201cregstel\u201d nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens die oorhandiging het die groepe ge\u00ebis die burgemeester, Geordin Hill-Lewis, moet self die memorandum kom ontvang. Die organiseerders het egter verduidelik dit sou net die hele proses vertraag indien dit nie oorhandig word nie. Die groep eis dat die prys onmiddellik soos deur Nersa bepaal is, aangepas moet word. Die groep eis ook dat eiendomswaardasie as maatstaf vir krageenheidpryse geskrap moet word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep s\u00ea ook die Stad se invorderingsbeleid moet dadelik hersien word omdat agterstallige dienstegeld direk by kragaankope afgetrek word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Politieke opposisiepartye, wat hul gewig agter organiseerders gegooi het, het die DA-beheerde Stad beskuldig dat hulle nie omgee vir die armes nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Natasha Gertse van die veldtog \u201cElectricity prices must fall\u201d sal hulle weer \u2019n optog re\u00ebl indien die Stad nie aan hul vereistes voldoen nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns glo dit wat die Stad doen, is onwettig en ons sal aanhou baklei vir mense wat nie die kragpryse kan bekostig nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep eis die Stad moet die ekstra geld wat dit van armes vat, summier terugbetaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Hill-Lewis staar die Stad \u2019n verlies van R500 m in die gesig indien hy nie volhard met die tariefverhoging nie weens instandhoudingswerk en ander uitgawes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charles Hlebela, \u2019n woordvoerder van Nersa, verduidelik die organisasie het talle klagtes ontvang oor die tariefverhoging van die Stad Kaapstad. Hy s\u00ea die dispuutoplossingsspan is tans besig om die kwessies te bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ondersoek- en oplossingsproses sal etlike maande neem om \u2019n \u201cdeeglike ondersoek te verseker\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Hlebela het Nersa verskeie klagtes ontvang wat vra dat die Stad se onlangse verhoging van 17,6% afgekeur word gesien dit die goedgekeurde tariefverhoging van 15,1% vir alle munisipaliteite oorskry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
