COVID19 financial losses not taken into account by City of Cape Town officials

It seems as if the accounts department of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality is hellbent on punishing the ratepayers regardless of the financial losses they may have suffered during and even long after the COVID-19 pandemic. As a sectional title owner and also a landlord, my tenants suffered great financial losses and could not keep head above water even long after the pandemic period. They were not the only ones, because I had family members who were also unemployed for long periods due to job losses. The financial pressure on me, as a pensioner, was tremendous which also caused me to fall into arrears with my municipal account. When I eventually was forced to sell my property in 2023, in order to rid myself of the great financial burden on my shoulders, the City had already taken Legal action against me. They had no consideration for anyone, regardless of the financial suffering that the Pandemic had caused. This City is not working for me, but against me and I suppose lots of other ratepayers who had suffered financial losses due to the COVID pandemic. Circumstances alter cases. Shame on this whole local government structure. Heartlessness, towards the ratepayers, is their ultimate goal, regardless of all the suffering that was caused by the global pandemic. I'm also not totally surprised by their actions, because the truth is known by all, that the evil that men do will live long after them.
