'Without the budget there can be no government. Ultimately it is the people who suffer.'
revenue collection programmewe have identified that our revenue collection is not where it ought to be. So, we have embarked on a campaign to collect as much of theowed to the city in outstanding rates, taxes and levies. Those who have the means to pay but simply refuse to, have their service suspended until they pay what is owed.. It assists financially distressed ratepayers and defaulting customers to bring their outstanding municipal accounts up to date.
We have also accelerated maintenance projects. Our service delivery teams from City Parks and Zoo, the Johannesburg Roads Agency, Joburg Water and City Power are conducting region-by-region blitzes to fix potholes, clean open spaces and curbs and cut trees, paint lines on the roads, fix traffic signals, repair leaking pipes and taps, and so on. This is part of getting the basics right.
