When the lock down was enforced two months ago, a number of industries and households were affected. And there were many questions to what measures the City of Cape Town has put in place to assist residents during this tough time.
Well the city has a proposed 2020/21 budget that provides rates and service relief for residents in need. And R3-billion has been set aside for a rates and service relief package for indigent, disabled and pensioner residents.
Is it really a form of relief? How does it work exactly?
