The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality plans to take legal action to recover R4.6 million from its suspended manager, Allan Losaba. This follows a certificate of debt issued by the Auditor-General last November after overpayments to a water service provider. The municipality has struggled to contact Losaba since his suspension in December.

The Finance Committee of the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that fully or partially reduces property tax payments for seniors, offset by increased contributions from Las Condes and Lo Barnechea to the Municipal Common Fund. Las Condes will raise its contribution to 70% on territorial taxes, while Lo Barnechea will contribute 65% in that area and 55% on commercial patents. Opposition criticized the measure as unfair for targeting only specific communes.
