The City of Cape Town says it will continue to provide assistance to qualifying residents who cannot afford to pay their rates and services and has urged them to come forward to receive relief.
"Residents who are unable to pay for basic services are encouraged to make representations to the City for relief, and for those who are struggling to pay their municipal accounts to enter into an agreed arrangement or installment plan to pay off their arrears. A number of criteria is considered when applying for indigent support. These may be based on monthly salary, employment status, whether you are a full-time occupant of your home or whether you are a senior citizen or a person with a disability.
"Ignoring debt is not the solution. Hoping that the debt will go away or ignoring the problem is not the answer and there is help on offer," he said.
