Cape Town won’t fight court tariff ruling, but warns lower-income households could pay the price​


The City of Cape Town has confirmed it will not appeal the Western Cape High Court’s ruling on tariff structures, opening the way for a revised budget process to begin.

In a statement issued this morning, the City said it will now publish amendments to its tabled 2026/27 Budget for public comment in the wake of the judgment.

The City maintains that the ruling’s primary impact is to curtail the ability of municipalities, including Cape Town, to cross-subsidise services in a manner that shields lower- and middle-income households from the full cost of those services. The proposed budget amendments, it says, reflect the City’s commitment to preserving that protection within the boundaries set by the court.
