Municipal assets taken for debt
The Sherrif of the High Court has confiscated three vehicles belonging to the Greater Letaba Municipality to be auctioned off to recover money owned to a service provider.
A tipper truck and two bakkies, belonging to the Greater Letaba Municipality, are expected to go under the hammer on February 11.
This follows the Pretoria High Court ruling on November 19 last year, that the municipality’s properties be repossessed and sold on a public auction, in order to recover the money owed to Star Mirls Construction and Developers CC.
The properties to be auctioned off at Letaba Sheriff’s Store Room, which is situated at 20 Industria Road in Tzaneen, from 10:00 will included a UD85 Tipper Truck, Nissan NP 200 Bakkie and Isuzi KB 250 Bakkie.
The Greater Letaba Municipality spokesperson, Lovers Maenetje could neither confirm nor deny that the municipality owes money to Star Mirls Construction and Developers CC, saying the matter is currently sub subjudice .
“The matter is still subject of the court processes and our legal department is dealing with it. I can not comment at this stage,” said Maenetje.
Attempts to get a comment from Star Mirls Construction and Developers CC also drew a blank.
