HOUSEHOLDS with a combined monthly income of R3 000 or less have been invited to register for municipal service subsidies.

The municipality has started with an outreach to all wards to register new applicants and re-register existing beneficiaries for the equitable share programme.

The subsidies are available to households whose combined gross monthly income is R3 000 or less. That’s roughly the value of two state pensions.

Successful applicants will receive the following service subsidies:

Free 50kwh electricity plus basic charge
Free 12kl water plus basic charge
Free monthly refuse, sewerage (based on 12kl water) and the Environmental Management Fee levy
Free additional R85 000 on the value of their property for rates.

The outreach started yesterday in Sea Vista and will continue from 8:30 to 15:00 at the following venues:

14 February at the Oyster Bay Hall for the Oyster Bay community
15 February at the Katrien Felix Hall for Thornhill
16 February at the Loerie Hall for Loerie
