AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, Rustenburg Local Municipality is facing significant dissatisfaction from residents and account holders. A recurring theme is prolonged power outages in areas such as Rhenosterfontein and Waterglen, with customers consistently mentioning a lack of communication, misinformation about repair teams, and unresolved faults. Ratepayers also raise concerns about billing disputes, unaddressed water overcharges, and slow responses to formal Section 102 disputes. Additional frustrations include water supply interruptions, deteriorating roads riddled with potholes, and perceived disregard for Batho Pele service delivery principles.

Undue delay in adjusting inaccurate municipal charges
I notified Rustenburg Local Municipality (hereafter RLM) yesterday morning that I will be approaching you for support due to their failure to attend to disputes submitted and requests for adjustments to inaccurate charges should the requests submitted not be dealt with by 16h00. I received a request from RLM to extend the due date to today at 14h00. Needless to say, I have yet to receive proof that RLM attended to the matters. I submitted a formal dispute on account 01027326 on 10 February 2026. RLM has not yet attended to the disputed charges despite their by-law stating that disputes will be dealt with within 28 days. On 8 December 2025 I requested RLM to adjust water undercharges on account 15256189 AND supp**** a photo of the current meter. It has not yet been corrected. This account is linked to consolidations and the clearance amounts will be wrong if water charges are not corrected. On 15 December 2025 I requested reversal of overcharges on account 05515684 AND supp**** a photo of the water meter. The above three matters have been followed up numerous times, yet adjustments have not yet been processed until now (19/03/2026 at 14h28) The undue delay is viewed as DELIBERATE and intended to not only HARM my good name, but also FRUSTRATE the municipal consumers. I think I was more than reasonable to date. I humbly request you to engage with RLM on the above. It is my informed opinion that this amounts to POOR service delivery and is in my view against the requirements of not only the Constitution and applicable legislation, but also Batho Pele principles issued since the issuance of the White Paper on Local Government years ago.

Failure of Rustenburg Local Municipality (RLM) to correct their own mistakes on accounts m
I have been trying to get electricity overcharges (demand and access (or also called capacity) on my client's account (15256196) reversed since before 11/12/2025. On 11/12/2025 I formally declared a dispute a terms of Section 102 of the Systems Act. I visited the electricity unit already 6(six) times and the BTO of RLM various times and have submitted many e-mails, threatening to report RLM - ALL to no avail . Although the overcharges are common sense, the BTO refuse to reverse same, reasoning that the electricity unit must indicate as such, despite it being clear (in my view) that RLM overcharged my client said charges, as it is included in the "provisional bill" supp**** by the electricity unit. I have just been with Mr Phiri at the electricity unit and he is also of the view that the BTO must correct their error, as they charged these charges in addition to the demand and capacity charges on the provisional bill for November 2025. The problem is bigger, because RLM now includes these charges in the clearance amounts. Said section say they cannot exclude it despite the fact that it is disputed and not yet reversed. In closure, RLM target paying consumers, but fail to correct their own mistakes. I cannot help but to think it is deliberate and malicious.

No title can describe the poor service
I am writing to report a complete lack of service and endless misinformation regarding a power outage affecting three buildings on the property at Waterglen. The problem started on September 29th. While most of our area and even the rest of our property had their power restored, three specific buildings did not. Since then, I have spent nearly R100 on airtime calling the municipality, only to be given the runaround. Every time I call, I am told a team will come to us "after they finish where they are." This has never happened. To make matters worse, I have been given specific, false locations for these teams: I was told twice they were working on the R24 road. Both times, I drove along the R24 and its offramps and saw no one. At 5 PM on September 30th, I was told they were at Excaliber on the R24. I drove there immediately—no one was there. When I called again at 7 PM, they claimed the team was suddenly at a completely different location. This is beyond frustrating. It is now 7 PM on September 30th, and we are still in the dark. This is not just about the electricity; it's about the complete disregard for your customers, the wasted money on airtime, and the blatant misinformation. We need a competent team sent to our address IMMEDIATELY to fix this. No more empty promises. No more false locations. Just action. I have lost my job over a year ago, due to the electricity problems on the R24 road. They don't even deserve a star.
