Impairment of receivables for the current years amounts to five hundred and thirty million Rand (R530m) which represents eighty two (82) percent the total debtor's book. This impairment was done notwithstanding the appointment of two companies as debt collection agents. (A councillor has a vested interested in one of these companies). Sufficient and appropriate evidence to support the work done by these agents in collecting debts, for which they received an amount of eight million Rand (R8m) as commission, could not be submitted by the municipality.
