Provincial Secretary Gerald Mkhomazi Twala says in a statement today
the main reason for their eviction is the outstanding services accounts owed to
the municipality since 2004.
He says
their office have seen a ridiculous municipal accounts statement from one of
the SMME’s, Monnye Projects, owing a total of R 27 699.75 as of July 2016
and interests is increasing every month.
From
their explanation the reason for the addition of the debts is that at some
point officials of the municipality informed them to stop paying given the challenges,
which were experienced with their billing system.
