The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Limpopo is not surprised that the
Polokwane Municipality has disconnected electricity supply in defaulting
Limpopo Provincial Government Departments, owing the municipality more
than R250 million.
The consequential disconnection of electricity in these departments is a solid
evidence and clear reflection of the ANC’s dismal failure to run effective and
good governance. Their failure to pay electricity bills is far more questionable
because, these departments receive plentiful amount of money from
Provincial Treasury to keep the lights on and provide basic service delivery.
It is of great concern that the impact of non-payment of electricity bills by
departments will mostly affect the delivery of services to our people.
Municipalities and Departments under the ANC led government are collapsing
and worst paying consumers of electricity, as a result of funds being misused
or stolen.
The EFF calls on the affected departments to come up with contingencies while
making financial means to settle their debts to avoid the halting of day-to-day
operations.
We cannot sympathise with irresponsible and corrupt ANC government
departments, they are reaping what they sow. The EFF demands accountability
and consequences management to be affected in these departments in
question.
