PRESS RELEASE
DATE: 10 MAY 2025
URGENT NOTICE: PLEA TO RESIDENTS TO HONOUR MUNICIPAL SERVICES PAYMENT
The Matjhabeng Local Municipality regrets to inform the public that Vaal Central Water (VCW) has taken the decision to
close the water supply due to a significant outstanding debt of over R6 billion owed by the Municipality.
This unfortunate development stems from the Municipality’s ongoing financial challenges and failure to meet its payment
obligations to VCW....
Following urgent negotiations, the Municipality has secured a conditional agreement with VCW to restore the water supply
by today or tomorrow, on the condition that the Municipality pays an initial amount of over R60 million no later than
Wednesday, 14 May 2025, and commits to honouring its monthly payment obligations going forward. This agreement is
critical, and any failure to meet the terms by Wednesday will result in a complete water shutdown across Matjhabeng.
We therefore make an earnest plea to all residents, businesses, government departments, and farms to immediately begin
honouring their service payment commitments.
The Following Actions Are Urgently Required:
• Residents must pay their current accounts immediately, starting from Monday, 12 May 2025.
• Those with arrears must visit municipal offices to make arrangements and commit to a payment plan.
• Indigent households are urged to pay no less than R250 and continue making monthly payments.
• All townships must participate in this collective effort by paying for municipal services.
Failure to comply will affect the entire community, as VCW will again cut the water supply.
In response to this financial crisis, the Municipality will intensify Operation Kwala, targeting those who continue to
ignore payment requests.
Disconnections will be carried out without further notice on all properties with outstanding debt.
We urge all residents to understand that the Municipality cannot provide services without revenue. Your cooperation is
critical to sustaining the water supply and ensuring the continued delivery of essential services.
Let us stand together during this difficult time. By paying what you owe — even partially — you are contributing to the
solution.
The Municipality remains committed to transparency and accountability, and we appeal to your sense of civic duty.
For payment arrangements and further assistance, please visit your nearest municipal office as soon as possible.
