Hon Minister, in as much as municipalities owes Eskom and the water boards billions of rand, it is not merely as heavy as the debt owed by municipalities, by households and the state. What has the department done so far in ensuring that there are campaigns run cultivating and a culture of payment by the
community for service rendered, given that the culture on non-payment for the services by the citizens had been condemned by both the Minister of Finance and the President of the country?
The MINISTER OF CO-OPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL
AFFAIRS: Chairperson, I think that campaign should be waged by everyone, every single one of us must wage that campaign of changing the culture of non-payment so that everybody pays for what they use.
