uMsunduzi vows to continue disconnections despite court interdict
uMsunduzi is continuing with its disconnection drive as it tries to tackle illegal connections and recover payments from businesses with unpaid utility bills.
It says it plans on responding to a recent court interdict that ordered it to restore services.
The city's Ntobeko Mkhize says they're studying the judgment.
She's appealed to customers to settle a portion of their debt, at least.
One of them is the Ingonyama Trust which owes the city some R8 million for rates.
