As the Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM) unveils its proposed budget for the 2025/26 financial year, concerns from multiple political parties are mounting. Among the most vocal critics is the Freedomfront Plus (VF Plus), which describes the budget as “a recipe for collapse unless serious action is taken.” According to VF Plus Councillor Shobie Arnoldi, the municipality is heading for disaster if it continues down its current financial path.
