Members of the eThekwini Ratepayers Protest Movement take to the streets of Durban to raise their discontent with the proposed tariff increases for services put up by the eThekwini Municpality.
Durban residents are set to take their frustrations to the streets on Wednesday as the eThekwini Ratepayers Protest Movement (ERPM) marches to the Durban City Hall, demanding urgent intervention over rising municipal bills and deteriorating service delivery.
The movement plans to march from Curries Fountain Stadium to City Hall, where members will hand over a memorandum to city officials outlining their demands for immediate relief and accountability.
ERPM warned that the protest could mark the beginning of broader rolling mass action if the municipality fails to address residents’ concerns.
The organisation accused the city of failing to adequately respond to grievances raised by ratepayers and residents, particularly over proposed tariff increases and worsening municipal services.
