Tshwane's new mayor, Cilliers Brink .

says the city pays R91 million a month to SARS for outstanding VAT payments. Brink has briefed the media in Tshwane. He says while he believes the city’s financial status is recoverable, he remains concerned with the liabilities that came with cancelling the contract.The smart contract was declared unlawful and set aside in 2017 by the High Court in Pretoria with the service provider instructed to remove the metres.“In the past 3 years the city learnt that apparently, we owe SARS outstanding VAT payments on this unlawful contract for the period of 2012-2015.
