New BALA President Wants Enterprising Councils

He said councils are capable of making money if they could ensure that those who owe them do pay.

“It is time we make sure that we collect money owed for service levy and rates. I know councils are owed millions by different people. Our biggest challenge as the local government is that people want services from us and council budgets are not enough. We need to hold kgotla meetings and write to those who owe us to come and pay,” Sibisibi said.
