Major South African metro kisses R2 billion goodbye
Inaccurate billing systems, account manipulations, a lack of administrative oversight, and poor management resulted in the Ekurhuleni Municipality reporting a R2 billion revenue deficit between July and September 2024.
EWN reports that the R2 billion deficit was primarily due to tampering with electricity accounts, which saw some households and businesses underpaying for electricity.
