Former Tshwane African National Congress chairperson Kgosi Maepa tweeted on Friday that the vehicle fleet was being confiscated and that this would bring service delivery to an abrupt halt in various Departments responsible for electricity and water supply and the Tshwane Metro Police.
“Buying vehicles outright is more cost effective instead of continuing with expensive lease contracts with service providers. The lease contracts with service providers have come to an end and we have encouraged our service providers to come and fetch their vehicles so that the City can then replace them with the vehicles that we are buying. So, it is not true that the cars are being repossessed from the City of Tshwane, no.
