The Steve Tshwete Local Municipality has publically announced the suspension of municipal services amid the COVID 19 outbreak.

•Licence Department

•Traffic Department

•Rates Hall

•Mhluzi and Kees Taljaard swimming pools

•All libraries

This decision is in line with the measures put in place by government to manage the spread of the disease, to protect citizens and to reduce the impact of the virus on society and the economy.

All payments of electricity, traffic fines, and municipal accounts will henceforth be done electronically by means of Prepaid 24, banks and fuel stations.
