The Grootfontein Municipality has appointed Red Force Debt Collectors to collect more than N$200 million owed to it by businesses and individuals.

The Grootfontein Municipality Acting Chief Executive Officer, Indileni Lungameni, says debtors still have time to settle their bills before the agent assumes operations next month.

Residents are advised to engage directly with Redforce regarding the settlement of their accounts.

Unlike other debtors, pensioners relying on government grants are excluded from this arrangement and will not have their services disconnected.

The target is those whose debts have accumulated for more than 60 days.
