# Cape Town homeowners fear being forced to sell due to rising municipal bills linked to property values above two-million-rand. This as the metro’s proposed tariff reform will add fixed charges for water, sanitation, and cleaning, pushing some bills up by over 20-pecent. According to MoneyWeb, retirees and fixed-income earners are particularly vulnerable. Residents argue the reforms unfairly burden single-occupant households and duplicate cleaning costs in areas already funding City Improvement Districts. Capetonians have until May 2nd to submit feedback on the proposals.
