Tshwane to continue targeting luxury estates in debt collection drive
Updated | By Mmangaliso Khumalo
The City of Tshwane says it has identified households living in various estates around the city whose accounts are in arrears.
The revelation comes as the city continues the #TshwaneYaTima revenue collection drive.
Spokesperson Selby Bokaba says some accounts owe the city as much as R500 000.
"On Thursday, the city audited 298 accounts at Sable Hills Waterfront Estate and found 285 meters to be in good condition, while 11 meters were found to have been tampered with.
“Two conventional meters were replaced with prepaid. There were no accounts in arrears that had to be disconnected."
Bokaba says the city will continue to target luxury estates to ensure all accounts are up to date.
