The revelations about the finances of the Msunduzi Municipality have stunned and angered councillors who accused the council of failing to improve since it was placed under administration. TheMercurySA

The revelations annoyed councillors who described it as an indication that nothing had changed since the department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs intervened and placed the council under administration.

It further revealed yesterday that it could not fund the installation of solar geysers in about 500 new Jika Joe flats, which would come on line in December, because of financial constraints. He said key indicators were all going in the opposite direction for a city that should be turning the corner.“The city can go after people who owe it R1000 and disconnect their lights but there are others who owe millions of rand, we know that one person recently paid R30m to the city after not paying for six years,” he said.

“This annual financial report clearly shows that the intervention by CoGTA has not improved the situation,” he said. The municipality was placed under administration by the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs a year ago, extended to March 31.
