Debt restructuring: A reorganisation of acompany's outstanding debt, for instance byconverting some of the debt into equity.
The reorganisation streamlined the three-tiered headquarters, regional and district structure into a two-tiered one, and created capacity in the headquarters to deal with emerging areas of significance such as human resource management, planning and research.
Upon the reorganisation of municipal services, there is no need to retain the municipal councils after 1999.
