Another failed attempt to pass the Joburg budget
4 June 2018
City of Johannesburg councillors will attempt to finally pass the metro's budget on Friday after another attempt to do so failed on Monday.
The metro has until the end of June - which is its financial year end - to do this or be possibly placed under administration by the provincial government.
A R59bn budget was presented before the council last week, but was not adopted as councillors rejected tariff increases.
While councillors from the ANC and the Patriotic Alliance rejected the budget, the EFF, which has supported the DA's bid to govern the City and in council, abstained.
