Share
DURBAN - UMHLATHUZE Municipality in northern KwaZulu-Natal has approved a R4.7 billion budget that will be centred on the needs of the poor.
The council began by effecting rebates on rates, refuse removal, and water and sewer charges as per its earlier resolutions, in February 2021, to ease the burden on property owners caused by the negative effects of the global pandemic on the economy.
âThe 10% Covid-19 relief is a benefit to City of uMhlathuze residential customers only, who pay for rates, refuse, sewer and water. Any other service not mentioned does not qualify for a rebate,â said uMhlathuze mayor Mduduzi Mhlongo.
