Tshwane to appeal Cleansing Levy Judgement

# The City of Tshwane says it will appeal the judgment handed down by the Pretoria High Court relating to the city’s cleansing levy of 194-rand per month for customers using private refuse collection. AfriForum approached the court to set aside the metro’s decision to impose a new mandatory monthly levy on approximately 260-thousand households and businesses within the metro. Mayoral committee member for Environment and Agriculture Management, Obakeng Ramabodu says much has been made of this cleansing levy and it must be noted that a cleansing levy is not unique to Tshwane.
