Opposition parties in the North West have called on municipalities in the province that are owed by provincial and national departments to take the necessary steps against them.

@SABCNews Parties say municipalities in the province are owed more than R1.8 billion in rates and taxes.According to the Democratic Alliance in the North West Provincial Legislature, national government departments owe municipalities over R872 million. Provincial departments owe R984 million. A large chunk of the debt is owed to the Mahikeng Local Municipality to which national and provincial departments owe more than R852 million.

“We have the provincial co-ordinating committee that is useless – because, remember the provincial co-ordinating committee houses all departments and municipalities together, and this is where your issues of inter-governmental relations must come in to say government must be able to pay another government or organ of state.

“SALGA must encourage municipalities to switch off services that they are providing to government departments which are not paying, so that everybody else can learn. It must not be selective; [they] go to the poor of poorest and switch off electricity and water because these people do not have the means to pay for those services. They rely on government for survival,” Babuile remarked.
