Have old municipal debt? Qualify for the City’s debt write-off incentive

(Media Release: Issued and provided by the City of Cape Town)

The City has a special assistance initiative to write-off old debt in an effort to help qualifying customers. It also acts as an incentive to encourage residents to pay off their current debts. 

"Qualifying customers may apply for the write-off of arrear debt older than about three years, provided they enter into a payment agreement with the City for the remainder of their debt.

"This is one of our ways to offer support to those who are struggling, but at the same time to encourage a culture of payment.," said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, Councillor Siseko Mbandezi.
