SPTC in P20million deficit

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Selebi-Phikwe Town Clerk(SPTC), Poloko Mojalemotho, has confirmed that the local authority is facing a P20 million budget deficit and in urgent need of an additional P38 million to stabilise the situation.

“It is true that the financial outlook indicates that we face a P20 million deficit by the end of the financial year. If we can consume at the rate at which we have been doing, then the deficit is likely to shoot up. But if we can forego some of our services then the deficit will remain there,” he said.
