Mogale City’s Indigent Management Services will host an awareness campaign on Friday, 22 August 2025 at the Rietvallei Pink Hall in Kagiso. The campaign aims to educate residents of Wards 3 and 34 about the benefits of the Indigent Management Programme, ensuring that all qualifying residents are given the opportunity to apply and be part of the programme. Other municipal divisions, including Water Services and Credit Control, will also be present to provide information and assist residents.
Residents who wish to apply are advised to bring the following documents:
- Proof of income or the latest three months’ bank statements, or an affidavit if unemployed;
- Copies of identity documents for the applicant, spouse and dependants;
- Proof of marital status;
- Latest municipal account and prepaid electricity meter number;
- As well as a SASSA confirmation letter if receiving social grants.
Those eligible to apply must be Mogale City residents, responsible for paying municipal services with a combined gross income equal to or less than two times the government pension grant plus two child-support grant, child-headed families, unemployed people, and employed individuals whose monthly income falls below the threshold.
To qualify, applicants must reside on the property for which indigent status is being applied, must be the owner, tenant, occupier or a vulnerable person receiving municipal services, and may only benefit from one property. Households that jointly own more than one property and apply for indigent support must declare all additional properties to the municipality.
This programme provides much-needed relief for families who cannot afford essential services such as water, electricity, refuse removal, sanitation, and property rates. Don’t struggle when support is available!
