The City of Johannesburg says it will ramp up collections from defaulters over the festive period – even if it means cutting off the lights.
The City of Johannesburg says it will target high defaulters this festive season to collect money owed in rates and services.
“Revenue collection is the backbone of the City to enable sustained service delivery to better the lives of more than 6 million residents who depend daily on the availability of municipal services in Johannesburg,” said Kgamanyane Maphologela, the city’s Director for Customer Communications. The city also warned that the termination of services can come with several additional costs to the customer, as the full outstanding amount will be expected to be paid, or a 50% deposit of the outstanding amount will be required to enter into a payment agreement before services are returned.
