Sparks fly in poorly managed Limpopo municipality over R10m claim

After missing the March 15 deadline to plead on a R10 million claim by an electrical engineering company, a Limpopo municipality, notorious for poor management, is now facing a default judgment.

Previously, the engineering firm had attached the municipality’s properties before it paid R41 million owed to the company.

“It just cannot be right that we are not paid for two years while National Treasury says companies must be paid within 30 days. They previously tried to block payments and they failed even when they took the matter to the Supreme Court of Appeal. They had to pay us because of a court judgment,” Mphaphuli said.

POLL | Should government allow sit-downs in restaurants under level 3 lockdown?President Ramaphosa said sit-ins at restaurants will not be allowed under lockdown level three. No Is this even a valid question honestly, it's a goddamn pandemic. I think so as long as social distancing is observed. Numbers can be observed as others will buy and eat at home. Check that the number of staff +customers make 50 before being fined for having 50+1. Hopefully so. Taverns will be like that. So, food! It must be. Hope is healthy!
