But, they have now come to realise
that they can depend on our arduous court process and largely
incompetent judicial system to ensure that it would take
months, even years before they would actually be prosecuted,
if ever.
This has resulted in a sharp increase in delinquent debtor
behaviour this month. Nice sound to it no? Delinquent
debtor behaviour.
So what can we expect and look forward to from next month
and the rest of this boom Year of the World Cup?
1. A 24.8% increase in the price of electricity from
1 April
2. A 50c per litre increase in the price of petrol from
7 April
3. An average of 15% increase in municipal rates
4. A 15-20% increase in the price of Metrorail train tickets
5. Sharp increases in road toll fees countrywide
6. A 133% increase in airport taxes from August
7. Dstv’s full bouquet up from R499 to R529 and
compact from R219 to R230
8. No annual salary increase ‘due to the economic
downturn.’ (We can show you the figures)
The increases in electricity and fuel will no doubt push
food prices and just about everything sky high and force
inflation to way beyond government’s six percent
upper limit.
My advice?
