This is done aggressively, in some instances, but it seems it has worked for them. Take a listen:
Fact: The #GautrainHatfield building owes us R10m for rates & taxes. On 15/01/2020 they paid R1,791,405 & on 04/03/2020 they paid R597,135. We haven’t received any payment from them since then.We’re engaging with them with a view to finding common ground #TshwaneYaTima https://t.co/5LznXczYgh
