The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) CEO Wayne Duvenage says the City of Joburg’s measures of collecting unpaid rates and services bills from indebted ratepayers at roadblocks, are out of desperation and will not work.
The City plans to post finance officers at certain roadblocks in an effort to collect outstanding revenue for water, electricity, rates and taxes.
Duvenage says harassing citizens like that will not be effective.
In May the City of Joburg stated that it is looking at ways to give some relief to ratepayers including deferring their municipal accounts.
