Dear Customers,

ONGWEDIVA | The Ongwediva Town Council, in accordance with a directive from the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development (MURD), is compiling a schedule of outstanding municipal debts owed by pensioners, deceased residents, and destitute persons for assessment and consideration for possible write-off.

This exercise aims to identify long-outstanding and potentially irrecoverable debts owed by vulnerable members of the community and to support a uniform approach to addressing such debts.

The Council therefore calls on qualifying residents or their authorised representatives to submit the required supporting documents to the Ongwediva Town Council – Accounts Enquiry Office for verification from 14 to 25 September 2026.

PLEASE NOTE: Submission of the required documents does not automatically guarantee the write-off of outstanding debts. All submissions will be subject to verification and assessment in accordance with the applicable requirements.
