# The African Christian Democratic Party has criticised the Gauteng government for owing the City of Ekurhuleni 382.3-million-rand in unpaid water and electricity bills. Councillor Palesa Yates says this sets a poor example, as residents face disconnection for non-payment. Other state entities also owe millions, including the Department of Infrastructure Development and the South African Revenue Service. Yates said it is unfair that government departments are treated differently and warned that unpaid bills impact service delivery and infrastructure maintenance.
