eThekwini Municipality sees a decrease in employee and councillor debt, with 3,765 employees owing 77 million rand and 41 out of 111 ward councillors owing 2.8 million rand. However, total municipal arrears reach 44 billion rand, with households accounting for 33 billion rand, driven by unpaid water bills. The city enforces tough measures, disconnecting 11,458 electricity accounts and 3,202 water services in February. Ongoing issues like faulty meters and tampering slow progress, but maintenance efforts aim to improve billing accuracy.
