Your Rates, Your Voice
We are a registered non-profit civic watchdog and community forum built on the collective strength of Mossel Bay’s residents, businesses, and associations. Our mission is to unite the ratepayers of Mossel Bay and surrounding areas under one banner to fight for fair representation while nurturing and protecting our community and interest of our ratepayers.
Individually we have no chance against larger principalities, but together we cannot be ignored.
Explore our latest articles for everything from local happenings to updates on municipal oversight and challenges faced by our community. We put effort into investigating every lead we get and hope to increase awareness and engagement in the Mossel Bay community.
If you have anything to report that effects the community and that you would like us to investigate an publish on, please make use of our Hotline :
MossRates is committed to keeping residents, ratepayers, and civic stakeholders informed about the challenges facing our town. The issues highlighted here are the result of in-depth research, ongoing monitoring, and active engagement with municipal processes. They reflect areas where decisions, policies, or practices have significant impact on residents’ daily lives, municipal efficiency, and the long-term sustainability of Mossel Bay.
Each issue is presented with clear context, outlining why it matters, who it affects, and the root causes behind it. We also provide insights into what is being done to address the problem, practical steps for residents to engage, and supporting evidence from both internal investigations and authoritative external sources.
MossRates is proudly backed by local South-African businesses and organisations. These supporters play a vital role in keeping the organisation alive and sustainable — helping us continue the fight for fair, transparent, and accountable municipal practices while strengthening the Mossel Bay community.

From community gatherings to live music festivals, Mossel Bay is always buzzing with energy. Our events section keeps you up to date with what’s happening — whether it’s a celebration of local culture, a night of entertainment, or opportunities to connect with the community.
The Hall of Fame honours individuals, businesses, and organisations that go above and beyond in serving the community. From outstanding municipal service to local heroes who make a difference, this is where we shine a spotlight on those who deserve recognition and respect.
The Wall of Shame calls out behaviour that damages our community — from corruption and fraud to negligence, abuse of power, or poor service that impacts the public. By exposing these issues, we create awareness, drive accountability, and encourage positive change.
MossRates works alongside a network of HOAs, NPOs, and civic organisations who share our commitment to accountability, transparency, and community resilience. Together, we strengthen the voice of Mossel Bay residents while respecting each organisation’s independence.
