Cutting power without fear or favour in Western Cape

While the DA-run City of Tshwane Municipality went on a power cutting spree on buildngs owing the city millions of rands in electricity bills, Mayor of The Central Karoo District Gayton McKenzie is dishing out the same treatment to businesses in the Western Cape.

“The Democratic Alliance cut off the electricity of non-paying businesses in Gauteng, our coalition is cutting of the electricity of non-paying businesses in Western Cape, the DA is now going all out to try and stop us, we will never be stopped by the DA,” McKenzie stood his ground.

CUTTING POWER AT HIS OWN BUILDING

McKenzie takes this cutting of power so serious that his own office was no exception.

“We have just cut the electricity of the Central Karoo District Council chambers, I’m part of this council and it cannot be that we go around cutting the electricity of businesses and other people whilst we are not up to date with our payments, we should be the example,” he said.

McKenzie’s project to recuperate unpaid bills to the municipality’s fiscus raffled a few feathers but the Patriotic Alliance leader blocked the noise by proving that his campaign was yielding positive results.

“Millions are being paid by businesses that never paid in Beaufort West. The DA must just keep quiet and let us do our work,” he said.

He added, “All provincial government departments paid 1,8 million yesterday”.

“We are cutting without fear or favour,” he firmly said, alluding that this was just the beginning.

“We are only starting now. This nonsense where only the less fortunate must be chased is totally wrong,” McKenzie defended.
