The tariff hike that will take effect in Mogale City Municipality (Krugersdorp, Muldersdrift, Magaliesburg, Tarlton) today will make services unaffordable for many residents and needlessly increase pressure on families trying to keep their heads above water financially.
These exorbitant tariff hikes are the result of years of poor planning, maladministration and reckless squandering of taxpayers’ money.
The tariff increases are as follows:
- Electricity: 9,01%
- Water: 11%
- Sanitation: up to 4,3%
- Refuse removal: 4,3%
- Diverse services: 4,3%
If the Municipality had implemented responsible financial management from the outset, such exorbitant increases would not have been necessary.
The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) did not support the 2026/27 financial budget because it does not reflect the reality faced by residents.
The party was also the first party to oppose the so-called block tariff system for electricity in the Council, which has now been scrapped.
At the time, the ANC coalition dismissed the party’s opposition as political games, but the Freedom Front Plus kept the pressure on.
The Freedom Front Plus’s main objective is to attract new entrepreneurs and create job opportunities.
It is time to replace the current administration with a government that prioritises economic growth, accountable governance and residents’ wellbeing.
On 4 November, residents have the opportunity to vote for the Freedom Front Plus and make this a reality.
Freedom Front Plus Public Safety: The FF Plus prioritizes public safety and community policing initiatives.

A South African, an Australian and an Englishman are all having a drink
The Englishman and South African both drink from Pint Glasses, the Australian from a bottle.
The South African, upon draining his glass, drops in back down on the bar, pulls out a pistol, and shoots the glass.
\”In South Africa, there is so much sand that I never drink from the same glass twice!\”
The Australian, having drained his bottle, sets it down upon the bar and, upon seizing the South African\’s pistol, shoots his bottle.
\”In Australia, there is so much booze that I never drink from the same brand twice!\”
The Englishman, likewise having drained his glass, sets his glass upon the table, seizes the pistol the pistol from the Australian, and shoots the South African and the Australian, quite dead.
\”In England, there are so many of you bastards that I never drink with the same two twice!\”
