Tomorrow, 21 October 2021, the DA Ekurhuleni Mayoral Candidate, Refiloe Nt’sekhe MPL and residents of Ekurhuleni, will hand over a memorandum to ANC Ekurhuleni Mayor, Mzwandile Masina, demanding that the latest property valuation roll be set aside.

The valuation roll process was not handled correctly by the contractor awarded the tender and as such, residents of Ekurhuleni are being billed out of their homes with exorbitant rates and taxes based on property values that are in no way a true reflection of market value.

The DA has received thousands of complaints by residents who have indicated that the ANC-led municipality is unwilling to adjust their property values to the correct market value.

The DA has submitted both petitions and motions to Council, however the ANC and their alliance partners have dismissed these outright.

The memorandum by the DA and residents demands that Mayor Masina set aside the current valuation roll, layout a flat rate increase for the balance of this financial year until the process is done correctly and 

reflects the true value of residents homes.

Date:               21 October 2021

Time:               08:30am

Venue:             Germiston Council Chambers, Cnr Queen and Cross Streets, Germiston
