Tshwane's amnesty for meter tampering sees a wave of residents coming forward as the city pushes for financial recovery.
Tshwane's amnesty program is driving change, with thousands coming forward about tampered meters as the city moves toward financial stability.Hundreds of residents from Tshwane have come forward and declared their tampered meters after the City of Tshwane offered amnesty as part of its debt relief plan of action.
Last week, the deputy mayor and MMC of Finance Eugene Modise announced an amnesty for meter tampering, when customers voluntarily report tampering with electricity meters and will then qualify for a tamper-fee waiver.“In ward 15 in Mamelodi, I have seen hundreds of people come forward and express that they can no longer live the level of guilt, knowing they have been using electricity in the city illegally,” he said.
Masilela said the city can expect a clean auditor opinion with no adverse findings under the ANC coalition government.Last Tuesday, Uys opened a case with the public protector to launch an investigation into the tax delinquent Triotic Protection Services, a company with ties to the deputy mayor.
