Municipal Watch: Maluti-a-Phofung has been in the news for the wrong reasons for many years, and sadly, the situation is not improving. They had five mayors in four years, with the current one taking office in April this year. They are one of the municipalities affected by the National Treasury's decision to withhold its equitable share allocation. Workers were not paid their July salaries. Water shortages have been a major problem, affecting even hospitals. Is there hope for this municipality?
