The independent agency said its latest Municipal Financial Stability Index ratings (MFSI) which analysis 100 of the biggest South African municipalities.

The agency measures each municipality's operating performance, liabilities management, budget practices, and liquidity position, it then compiles the MFSI, giving each municipality a mark out of 100.

This means that KwaDukuza has well entrenched financial policies, budgets based on sound long-term financial strategies. The municipality adheres to good budgetary practices, strict financial controls, and good revenue collection.

KwaDukuza has done well over the years. From around 2004 onwards, we were under serious financial constraints and performing at the lowest levels in the country.
