Abstract
The City of Tshwane (CoT), like other municipalities in South Africa, has developed an Indigent Policy, and it is busy implementing that Policy. The challenge that the CoT is faced with is to assist the registered indigent households to exit the indigent register and be able to pay for municipal services without accumulating debt. The other challenge is to assist those indigent households who are not yet registered so that they are able to exit the cycle of poverty and so do not have to be registered as indigents in the first place. To this end, the CoT has been searching for an effective Indigent Exit Strategy (IES) to be able to intervene and be of assistance to those households mentioned above. This document is an IES. It proposes strategic interventions that the CoT could put in place as a way of reducing levels of indigency in Tshwane.-
