Ratepayers Revolt

Municipalities’ Pension Crisis Deepens

A concerning trend has emerged in South African municipalities: a significant number are failing to adequately fund their employees’ pensions.

As listed below, 172 municipalities and municipal entities have failed to reliably fund the pensions of municipal employees and counselors.

Remarkably, 93 have been found to be negligent even in ensuring their own council members’ retirement benefits are secure. This alarming revelation underscores a systemic problem and should serve as a stark warning to ratepayers who have placed their trust in these municipalities’ leadership.
