The city of Johannesburg is *********** its citizens.

The city of Johannesburg does not send its meter readers out for a number of months and then takes the readings for the months the meter was not read and puts the consumption into one billing cycle. This results in the sliding scale for consumption being completely distorted in favor of the municipality. My water meter was not read for 4 months and my account that should have been around R3800.00 was R7485.00. The same is being done with electricity. As far as I am concerned, this is *****ing, and I wonder if it is even legal.
