Umnyango uchaze ukungalandeli imithetho okuqhubekayo \u201cnjengokungalandeli izibopho zokwethembeka kanye [no]songo ekuzinzeni kwezezimali.\u201d<\/p>\n

Esitatimendeni, uMgcinimafa uthe, \u201cIzigidigidi ezilahlekile ngenxa yokumosha kanye nokusetshenziswa kwemali okungajwayelekile ngeke zisabekezelelwa. Omasipala kumele bafakazele ukuthi bangakwazi ukuphatha imali yomphakathi ngendlela efanele ngaphambi kokuthola okunye ukudluliselwa kwemali.\u201d UMgcinimafa wanezela ukuthi lesi sinyathelo akulindelekile ukuthi sithinte izinsizakalo ezibalulekile esikhathini esifushane, yize lesi siqinisekiso sike saphikiswa abanye abathintekayo.<\/p>\n

Ukukhathazeka Ngokuhlinzekwa Kwezinsizakalo Nemiphumela Ebanzi<\/h4>\n

Sekukonke, omasipala bakweleta i-Eskom inzalo engu-R3.40 billion kanye no-R1.21 billion kumabhodi amanzi, okwandisa ingcindezi kohulumeni bendawo ukuthi bazinzise ezezimali ngenkathi begcina izinsizakalo. UMgcinimafa uphinde waphawula izinhlelo zokukhipha izikweletu zomasipala ezingakakhokhwa ngqo kwizabelomali zomnyango kazwelonke kanye nowesifundazwe ukusiza ukukhokha lezi zibopho. Ukusebenza kahle kwalezi zinyathelo kuncike ekuphathweni okuthuthukisiwe kwamaKomidi Ezimali Zomphakathi Kamasipala, uMnyango Wezezimali ogxeke ngawo ukwehluleka ukuphenya ukuphathwa kabi kwezezimali. Impikiswano iqokomisa izinselelo eziqhubekayo emkhakheni kamasipala, iqinisa izicelo zokuguqulwa kanye nezinhlelo eziqinile zokuziphendulela. Intuthuko elandelayo kulindeleke njengoba uMgcinimafa ehlola ukuthobela imithetho ngaphambi kwefasitela elilandelayo lokuxhasa ngezimali.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
