The DA in Msunduzi, together with all relevant Civil Organizations have managed to bring Msunduzi’s approved exorbitant electricity tariff down from 21.49% to 15% through National Treasury and NERSA’s intervention.
The ANC and other smaller parties approved the ridiculously unaffordable tariff during the budget process recently, of which the DA opposed because the tariffs were completely unjustifiable.
The DA and Civil Organizations wrote to the relevant authorities to challenge the approval, and further intervention .
Although Council is on recess, a Special Executive meeting was called on Tuesday to deal with and approve NERSA’s directive to stick within its final guideline of 15%.
The report was approved, with an additional recommendation brought forward by the DA to immediately consider starting the process of a Special Adjustment Budget due to the changes in the Tariff Register.
The DA in Msunduzi will always fight on behalf of the people and ensure that good governance prevails in the Municipality.
The ANC in Msunduzi is failing to manage the finances of the Municipality and attempted to subsidize its failures through unaffordable Tariff increases.
