Fair Rates. Strong Community.

Billike Tariewe. ’n Sterk Gemeenskap.

MossRates unites homeowners, businesses and residents of Mossel Bay to demand inflation‑linked rates, transparent billing and reliable services — lawfully and professionally.

Roadmap

Why MossRates?

Hoekom MossRates?

  • Charges rising 2–3× CPI Heffings styg 2–3× vinniger as CPI

    We track rates vs inflation and push for CPI‑linked increases only.

    Ons monitor tariewe teenoor inflasie en dring aan op slegs CPI‑gekoppelde verhogings.

  • Duplicate billing Dubbele fakturering

    Estates pay privately and municipally for the same services. We expose and challenge.

    Landgoedere betaal privaat en munisipaal vir dieselfde dienste. Ons ontbloot en betwis.

  • Expert‑led oversight Deskundige toesig

    Finance, legal, infrastructure, safety and digital departments guide our actions.

    Finansies, reg, infrastruktuur, veiligheid en digitale afdelings lei ons optrede.
