Member of the Mayoral Committee for Finance in the City of Johannesburg, Dada Morero, says they will embark on an aggressive revenue collection campaign to ensure that the City is able to fund its projects. Morero was speaking during an extraordinary council meeting at the City’s Constance Bapela Council Chambers in Johannesburg this morning.“We as councillors, we are as the City and the Executive today going to embark on an aggressive revenue collection process in an attempt to increase our collection rate, move from 86% to the 90% target, which will then ensure that this city is able to fund its capex projects and be able to support its opex expenditure.
“We are therefore making a call to the residents of Johannesburg to also play their part in ensuring that they pay for the services that are consumed on a daily basis,” adds Morero.
