It's not our fault, says mayor Moya

TANKERS: 'CITY IS CORRECTING FALSE NARRATIVE'

- Marizka Coetzer

City of Tshwane mayor Nasiphi Moya said the city's response was not creative accounting; but rather correcting a deliberately constructed false narrative

"Let me be clear: water tanker expenditure in Tshwane is high.

"I have never disputed that. That is precisely why, since my election in October 2024, I have prioritised a series of reforms to reduce it.

"These interventions form part of a broader shift from emergency water supply toward long-term water security," she said in response to reaction to the city's explanation on water tankers in the capital.
