EWN reports that the ANC, which governs the city with the EFF, also raised concerns over the city’s poor revenue enhancement systems. While the ANC and ActionSA claimed that the City of Ekurhuleni has no money, Dunga, who is from the EFF, said the city’s finances remained intact.
However, ActionSA, which believes the ANC-EFF coalition is pushing the city toward a meltdown, said that Ekurhuleni owed creditors almost R4 billion. The party called for an improvement in revenue collection, attracting investments, and increasing the collection of municipal rates and taxes.
