Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality has issued an official media statement addressing misleading and false information currently circulating on social media platforms.
The Municipality confirms that claims suggesting government funding has been suspended, electronic payment systems have been shut down, or that residents should expect increased electricity and water outages are false and misleading. No competent authority has made any findings of corruption against the Municipality, and there has been no suspension of funding.
The Municipality further assures residents that electronic payment systems remain operational, and any temporary technical issues are routine service-provider matters that do not indicate financial or institutional distress.
Kgetlengrivier Local Municipality strongly condemns the spread of misinformation that undermines public trust and causes unnecessary panic within communities. Residents are encouraged to rely only on official municipal communication platforms for accurate and verified information.
