This includes Midrand, Sandton, Alexandra and Soweto. Residents say the way the values of properties are calculated is absurd. “How do we get to this mysterious phantom that the size from an arial photograph without looking at an actual structure what the value of my property is. There’s no way that my property can be valued 300 times than the normal value. What are you people smoking and drinking in your offices there? And once the municipality gets it in their heads that they want to charge you that rate, they do not reverse the rate,” says one resident.
