The Maluti-a-Phofung municipality in the Free State is on the brink of complete collapse, with neither money nor electricity. | JasonFelix

The Maluti-a-Phofung municipality in the Free State is drowning in financial troubles.The municipality has consistently been ranked among South Africa's worse-run councils.

The move has irked the SA Local Government Association , which believes the plan will be detrimental to the municipality. But it added:"Salga believes that the distribution agency agreement is only fuelled by one party's needs and is not sustainable for all parties entering the agreement and neglects the fundamentals that electricity is an important funding source for local government.

"Further to this, if Eskom were to be appointed to be the service provider on behalf of the municipality, it needs to do so using the process legislated by the Municipal Systems Act, where Eskom as a service provider or agency will be expected to comply [with] the by-laws of the municipality where credit control, surcharges and other matters relating to electricity services are concerned," he said.It is struggling to pay salaries, and communities go without electricity for days.
