Linda Boshoff1 year ago It is with a respect for the tough task it must be to craft a budget that I submit my comments. Us ratepayers and tax payers are a small group that is beeing squeezed relentlessly. With the National Budget deficit one could only assume that the provinces do not receive the desired budgets to properly run and grow the regions. I do however not think that it is feasible to expect that we the ratepayers must now fund the infrastructure developements and housing that I would expect to be endevours that should be funded by National Government. Securty is also another big contributing amount to the proposed budget and we painfully apreciate the need for it, but you see my point. Is Cape Town soley responsible for funding everything needed to continue to be the thriving destination of choice. I do not have clever alternative income generating suggestions that will magically rain funds down on Cape Town, I am just a normal citizen, trying to make ends meet. It is clear that the thinking behind the budget is for growth, upliftment, safety and security. All the best to you.
