George Municipality kindly asks that all ratepayers, and Municipal clients be vigilant – we have been informed of an individual allegedly named “Kenny Ngene, Head of Disconnections” who is falsely representing himself as an employee of George Municipality. (Please see the attached screenshot) This individual does not represent and is not employed by the George Municipality. The individual has sent WhatsApp messages to a ratepayer requesting the payment of a large sum of money into an unknown bank account to prevent the blocking of a prepaid meter.

PLEASE NOTE:  Municipal officials and agents will always wear identifiable name tags or carry appointment certificates. The community is encouraged to verify the appointment of any individual claiming to represent the Municipality, as advised in the communication below.

The municipality will not contact a ratepayer telephonically or via WhatsApp regarding the blocking of a meter and also not request a large payment into an unknown account to unblock a meter. Your prepaid meter will only be blocked if you have outstanding payments on your municipal account and despite us sending you several SMS (directly to your registered contact number as the municipal account holder), you make no effort to get in touch with us. Only then will your prepaid meter be blocked, and you will have to come in or phone in to resolve and discuss payment arrangements.

For help, phone the municipality’s debt control section at 044 801 9111 during office hours or via email creditcontrol@george.gov.za

The George Municipality would like to inform the public that maintenance efforts for the Civic Centre Community Hall located at 71 York Street, have been delayed by an additional two weeks due to accommodating families of the victims of the recently collapsed building at Victoria Street.

To ensure that these facilities continue to meet the highest standards, the scheduled general maintenance activities must be concluded leaving the Hall temporarily unavailable for bookings until the end of June 2024.

All efforts will be undertaken to contain dust and noise pollution from the floor sanding, with disruptive work taking place over weekends and after hours.

Members of the public accessing the Municipal Court are requested to access the building with care.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this temporary closure or need assistance with alternative arrangements, please feel free to contact Mr A Joseph at 044 801 1344.

The municipality apologises in advance and requests your patience during the upgrade.

Ends.
