Yesterday Moya announced that the city had made a landmark agreement with Eskom to settle the R6.67 billion historical debt owed to the utility.

"This agreement, formalised as a court order on 26 November, is a significant milestone in our journey to financial recovery and stability.

"The arrangement outlines a structured repayment plan spanning five years, with the first payment of R400 million scheduled for December 2024. Additionally, the city has already paid R425 million in arrears for October 2024. A critical condition of this agreement is the timely payment of current accounts within 30 days of billing," she said.
