Brink slams Tshwane's levy

>>→ DA calls out ANC-led coalition’s billing hypocrisy.

- Marizka Coetzer

Former DA City of Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink has challenged the city's mayor, Nasiphi Moya, and her coalition partners not to appeal the cleansing levy judgment and bring a new funding plan to the municipal council with a set of measures on how to close Tshwane's budget deficit.

Brink has also challenged Moya to lead a Tshwane ya Tima disconnection team to Mzansi Resort in Mabopane, north of Pretoria, and apply the credit control policies that apply to Tshwane residents.

"If deputy mayor Eugene Modise cannot get his company to pay what he owes the municipality, he must be fired as finance MMC," he said.

Brink said Modise's R23 million bill on Mzansi Resort was still not paid and that credit control has still not been done on the property, despite Moya leading Tshwane credit control teams to cut the power supply to schools, businesses and, recently, at the Tshwane University of Technology.
