Sultan said she's had countless meetings with city officials over the years to try and explain that she had tenants in her house.She even installed a device to restrict the water supply. Sultan says she's spent tens of thousands of rand seeking help to resolve the matter and even hired a company to check for leaks.

Alot of pensioners are hit with these ridiculous amounts. Something is going on here. I wish we had real journalists to investigate this. This is Really sad.
A lot of people have a problem with the billing system in WC I wish it could be investigated because grandparents also have a problem
