Show Notes
Emfuleni Local Municipality in South Africa has spent seven hundred million rand on overtime over the past six years, despite staff shortages and infrastructure breakdowns. The costs have risen steadily, with two hundred million rand going to overtime during Covid lockdowns. Residents in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging face uncollected trash and sewage flooding due to limited refuse trucks. The opposition Democratic Alliance calls the spending wasteful, while municipal leaders plan to fill vacancies and cut costs to improve services.
