Show Notes
Emfuleni Local Municipality in South Africa spent nearly $50 million on overtime over the past six years, yet basic services crumble. Residents face sewage spills, trash piles, and dilapidated infrastructure. Spending on overtime surged yearly, reaching over $100 million annually since 2021. Despite this, service breakdowns persist, with only five working trucks serving two major towns and 45 wards. The Democratic Alliance criticizes the ANC-led council for wasting money without improving conditions. Officials now face pressure to explain spending and address the crisis.
