Municipality seems intent of discouraging business and thus the creation of sustainable jobs. Now a small business has to fork out R123.45 for Refuse collection, R114.98 for Sewerage and now a new tarriff of R263.34 for the 'Prepaid Meter' (which the owner /developer had to purchase) - per month!!! The same tariff applies to large and small businesses equally. Then the small business has to purchase his electricity on top of that. That means before a small businessman can get to pay his rent and start trading he has to fork out R501.77 plus his electricity!

Positive things are beginning to happen in Tulbagh. The destruction of the heritage of Tulbagh has seemingly started to reverse itself with upgrades of historical buildings by private individuals taking place in Van der Stel Street and other tasteful buildings being constructed elsewhere. This is a notable initiative by the local owners who reveal their sensitivity to their community, the architectural heritage of Tulbagh and indicative as to how proud they are of their own properties.
