Suggestion on Item Vi: Public Finance [1994] ZAConAsmRes 90 (29 December 1994)

SUGGESTION ON ITEM VI : PUBLIC FINANCE
I will be very happy if you are well. We are also well. My complaint is about what is happening here in Umlazi. We were paying R5-00 per month for water to KwaZulu Government, while the township was still under its control. When the Durban City Council took over, the people at the Township Offices (eMaweleni), under the KwaZulu Government issued water accounts and claimed that we owe between R500 and Rl 700 per month, something we do not know how it came about, because pipes are leaking day and night, in such a way that we do without water for some time! We are definitely not happy about paying such a lot a+ money.
We ask the new Government to erase all these arrears, so that we can start afresh paying for water, because we now have new metres that were installed by the Corporation.
We, citizens of Umlazi, will be very much thankful if our request receives a favourable consideration.

Remain with peace
