Ekurhuleni’s financial meltdown is hitting hard—$7.3 billion in debt, only $2 billion in the bank, with crippling delays in paying Eskom and Rand Water. Service providers wait over 120 days for payment, sparking accusations of corruption and mismanagement. If unpaid bills continue, power and water could be cut, directly impacting residents.

Auditor reports have long flagged weak controls—now, the pressure’s on the current coalition to fix it before basic services collapse.
