Peter Smit, 69, said utility bills were set to increase from July, and he was struggling to keep his lights on because he had no other form of income other than his pension.
The property must not be worth more than R2 million, the owner of the property must reside permanently at the property, it must be owned by a South African, and the rebate can be granted for only one property per resident.In a comprehensive email paper-trail dated January 2018 that Smit shared with City Watch, municipal officials acknowledged that his application had been received and said that the rebate would appear on his next statement.
“There has been no further correspondence in this matter. I am at my wits’ end in trying to obtain a rates rebate on my property, which I am legally entitled to. This is the first time that I have not received my rates rebate. I am a pensioner and find it very hard to cope with all the increases. Please, can you look into the matter and assist me in obtaining the rates rebate.
