Chaos erupts in Emfuleni when officials learn that no salaries will be paid
25 January 2023
Chaos erupted today in the council chambers of the Emfuleni Local Municipality (Evaton, Sebokeng, Vaal Oewer, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging) when councillors and officials were officially informed that no salaries will be paid for January.
The Mayor, Mr Sipho Radebe, was conveniently absent when the announcement was made and officials stormed into the council chambers, turning over and damaging whatever they could get their hands on
The non-payment of salaries is a direct consequence of Emfuleni's dire financial predicament.
Basically, no services can be rendered after the court awarded Eskom an attachment order against Emfuleni
