The City of Tshwane says the agreement with State-owned Eskom to settle the R6.67-billion historical debt it owes to the utility signals a turning point, ending years of costly litigation and redirecting the city’s focus toward improving service delivery and enhancing revenue collection systems. The city will adopt stronger financial governance practices to ensure this never happens again and, thereby, safeguard the city’s resources and financial health, Executive Mayor Nasiphi Moya said on December 2.
