Municipalities can pay their debts if households, governments and businesses pay their bills — Salga

The South African Local Government Association reported that the rolling debt, since pre-1994, sits at R165.5 billion as at June 30, up from R143.2 last year.

This crippling debt has been described by Salga president, Thembi Nkadimeng, as part of the reason why municipalities are failing to make payments to Eskom and water providers. Nkadimeng added that “municipal debt to Eskom and water boards sits at R25 billion and R14.9 billion respectively.”
