The City of Tshwane has dismissed claims that its fire engines were repossessed over unpaid bills, calling the allegations false and misleading. The city says no emergency vehicles have been repossessed and some trucks are only undergoing repairs and maintenance. This comes after claims circulated over the past few days about the municipality's ability to pay. Concerns however remain about an ageing fleet, high maintenance costs for specialised equipment and emergency response capacity. To unpack these issues, we spoke to MMC responsible for Emergency Services in the City of Tshwane, Hannes Coetzee.
