It is a fallacy that townships owe the City of Tshwane more money than other suburbs and affluent areas.
On Thursday, Tshwane Finance MMC Jacqui Uys revealed that affluent suburbs, including Waterkloof and Silver Lakes, were among the top five municipal bill defaulters in the capital city.
In fact, Ward 42, which includes Waterkloof and Monument Park, topped the list, owing more than R756 million; followed by Ward 101, which includes Silver Lakes and Boschkop, with a debt of around R726 million.
