Ekurhuleni residents will have to dig deeper into their pockets as new tariffs kick in from July 1.
Residents and businesses across Ekurhuleni will pay more for municipal services from this month after the City confirmed that its new tariffs, approved as part of the 2026/27 budget, came into effect on Wednesday.
The City of Ekurhuleni announced the tariff adjustments in a media statement on Tuesday, saying the increases form part of the R70.9 billion budget approved by council last month.
According to the municipality, the budget is designed to strengthen service delivery, improve infrastructure maintenance and support the City’s long-term financial sustainability while ensuring essential municipal services continue to reach communities and businesses across the metro.
City spokesperson Zweli Dlamini said the budget reflects its commitment to building a sustainable and inclusive municipality.
