Show Notes
Ekurhuleni, South Africas manufacturing hub, wrote off billions in debts, struggling with unpaid bills for services. Officials blame a culture of non-payment, particularly among low-income families. The city launched awareness campaigns and plans stricter measures, including cutting electricity. A debt relief program was introduced, but reactions are mixed due to Moodys credit rating downgrade. The council approved a budget increase for repairs and services, aiming for steadier finances and improved infrastructure.
