While Ramaphosa has been building a house on the plot over recent years, the property is still listed as"vacant land" on its rolls. The other plot went up from R12 million to R13.1 million.But Kapstadt International Properties agent Elisabeth Kretschmer says some of her clients saw their new municipal valuations triple.

“Some people are not in a position to pay more rates on their properties. I am speaking to those who are retired, who bought their houses long ago when their properties were much cheaper in the 70s and 80s, and who now cannot afford to live elsewhere. Downscaling has been made very difficult because the current prices of homes which make it too expensive for them to move,” says Kretschmer.
