Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes the current billing system in Johannesburg that had caused widespread pandemonium with vastly inflated bills being sent to unsuspecting residents including Sicelo Shiceka, the Minister for Co- operative Governance and Traditional Affairs;
(2) further notes that the city's billing system is in shambles and that Johannesburg Mayor Amos Masondo had failed to give a detailed update on how the city was planning to deal with the situation; and
(3) therefore commends the Minister for his swift reaction to the issue and further calls on government to continue working in co- operation with the city of Johannesburg to correct this crisis in a swift and orderly manner and to ensure that residents receive the appropriate bills.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
