Nadat die waarnemende uitvoerende burgemeester Gregory Nthatisi verlede Donderdag (15\/06) die begroting vir die Mangaung-metro vir die 2022\/\u201923-geldjaar op \u2019n raadsvergadering teruggetrek het, is dit op vandag se spesiale raadsvergadering goedgekeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nthatisi het die begroting teruggeroep n\u00e1 insette van opposisiepartye. N\u00e1 \u2019n multiparty-vergadering Woensdag het partye soos die EFF te kenne gegee dat hulle wel vandag vir die begroting sou stem \u201comdat die burgemeester vir die mense grond beloof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die DA en die VF Plus het teen die begroting gestem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dulandi Leech, woordvoerder vir die DA oor finansies, het ges\u00ea dat die begroting wat voorgel\u00ea is, presies dieselfde is as die een van die vorige week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie EFF en die ANC het gisteraand \u2019n ooreenkoms aangegaan. Dit is eenvoudig goedkoop politiekery. Hierdie soort ooreenkomste wat agter die skerms gedoen word, is net vir eie gewin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede jaar moes die raad drie keer stem om die begroting goed te keur omdat opposisiepartye teen die begroting bly stem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die goedkeuring van die begroting vandag, kan inwoners hulle regmaak vir stewige tariefverhogings wat op 1 Julie in werking tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit nieteenstaande dienste wat vir weke lank nie gelewer word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elektrisiteitstariewe word ingevolge goedkeuring deur die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika (Nersa) met 15.1% verhoog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gemiddelde eiendomstariewe verhoog met 5,3% ondanks die dubbele tariefverhoging wat eiendomseienaars verlede jaar met die nuwe evaluasierol moes opdok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tariewe vir riool word met 5,3% verhoog vir residensi\u00eble verbruikers en 5.8% vir nie-residensi\u00eble verbruikers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir talle inwoners sal dit \u2019n bitter pil wees om te sluk, veral di\u00e9 wat gereeld dae lank opgeskeep sit met lekkende riool in en voor hul eiendomme soos vroe\u00ebr die week in Blommesteinstraat in Fichardtpark .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners sal ook 8% meer moet betaal vir vullisverwydering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die begroting, maak die metro voorsiening vir R17.7 miljoen vir die volhoubaarheid van vullisverwydering. Daarby word R3,5 miljoen beskikbaar gestel vir die onderhoud van parke, toegangsroetes tot die stad en die snoei van bome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Francois Nel, waarnemende hoof van vullisverwydering in die Mangaung-metro en lid van die nasionale ingrypingspan, het Woensdag op \u2019n inwonersvergadering ges\u00ea daar is nou \u2019n tender geaktiveer wat vir \u2019n maand gaan help met die agterstand in vullisverwydering in die metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Braam Vorster van die VF Plus, het op Donderdag se vergadering ges\u00ea dit is hoogs onwaarskynlik dat die geskatte operasionele inkomste van R9,31 miljard op die begroting bereik sal word nie. \u201cDit is baie meer realisties dat die invorderingskoers 82% sal wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie inkomste uit water word geprojekteer op R1,84 miljard terwyl die uitgawes geprojekteer word op R2,11 miljard. Dit beteken dat die metro geen wins sal maak uit die verkoop van water nie, maar \u2019n verlies van R270 miljoen sal ly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie VF Plus het meer as 40 klagtes van belastingbetalers gekry oor stukkende watermeters wat verwyder is en nog nie met nuwe meters vervang is nie. Hierdie huise ontvang dus nie nou rekeninge vir hul waterverbruik nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leech s\u00ea groot klem moet gel\u00ea word op skuldinvordering en dat die begroting soos dit gedien het nie befonds is soos die burgemeester te kenne gegee het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie invorderingskoers is nie 95% nie, hoewel die metro daarna moet streef,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. \u201cDit is nader aan 70% en was in Augustus verlede jaar so laag soos 52%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea as die metro sy inkomstestroom wil verhoog, moet rompslomp wat ondernemings verhinder om hier te ontwikkel, uit die weg geruim word. \u201cDie metro se belastingbasis moet ook dringend vergroot word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nthatisi het ges\u00ea geldinvordering vorder en dat die departement publieke werke Donderdagoggend reeds R50 miljoen aan uitstaande skuld betaal het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
