SPTC owed P17.9 million

Addressing a Kgotla meeting in Ikageleng ward last week, Molosiwa said though he appreciates the economic situation of the town, it is necessary for those who are owing to try hard to clear the debts because it cripples the council’s efforts to effectively deliver its services to the community.

He said the money is desperately needed, as otherwise services would be seriously compromised. He said democracy implies that everyone partakes in the development of his or her area of residence, hence it would be unfortunate if the council could fail to deliver on its mandate as a result of shortage of funds simply because people are holding on to the funds.
