PAY YOUR RATES AND WIN CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS - OVER E2 MILLION COLLECTED

As guided by the Integrated Development Plan (2019-24), PPTC conducted a “Pay Your Rates and Win’ campaign with the aim of encouraging ratepayers to pay their rates on time. The campaign ran from the 1st April 2023 till the 31st July 2023. Ratepayers who paid their rates in full during the mentioned period of the campaign were not only eligible to enter the competition but they were also spared from the interest charges and penalties outlined in the Rating Act, 1995.

The draw session

The department was able to collect an amount of E2,050,685.71 during the campaign which makes 44% of private rates billed of E4,625,270.96 in the current financial year. Council congratulates winners of the competition, appreciates all ratepayers who have paid and encourages those with outstanding balances to settle their debts to allow for smooth operations and quality service delivery.

To ensure transparency, a draw for the competition was conducted by the Station Commander, Mr. Dumisani Nzalo on the 1st September 2023 at the Council Boardroom. Present during the draw was the Mayor Councillor Sipho Shongwe, Finance Chairperson Councillor Lucky Tfwala, Chief Executive Officer Mzwandile Ndzinisa, Town Treasurer Clement Dlamini and a representative of the Ratepayers Association Stephen Mavuso. Presentation of prizes will take place on Friday, 15th September 2023, 10am at Council Offices.
