He emphasizes that without the necessary funds from ratepayers, the municipality cannot meet the increasing demands for service delivery from communities.

Concerns Over the City’s Financial Status

MMC Morero expresses his concern over the rapid depletion of the City’s financial resources due to a culture of non-payment.

Approximately 65% of the City’s annual budget relies on revenue generated from ratepayers.

The Importance of Sustainable Municipalities

To sustain itself, the City relies on various sources of income, including grants and subsidies from the national government, loans, fines, and penalties.

A Plea for Responsible Payment

In conclusion, MMC Morero urges residents to find a healthy balance between paying for their municipal accounts and indulging in luxury services.

By doing so, they contribute to the City’s financial stability and ensure the provision of essential services that benefit the entire community.
