We believe that the R20 billion for municipalities announced by @PresidencyZA, ought to come with clear National Treasury instructions limiting what municipalities can spend the remainder of their funds on, eg: not on massive increases for senior staff.
Municipalities need urgent guidance by NT on the reprioritisation of draft budgets. In most cases, their draft 2020/21 budgets were drawn up in Jan/Feb - before #Covid19inSA, meaning they are unresponsive to the depth of the current crises.
@PresidencyZA @tito_mboweni
Municipalities cannot approach the finalisation of their 2020/21 budget as if its 'business as usual'. At least for the next financial year or more, 'nice-to-have' projects will have to be shelved or rephased, and the health, social and safety of all their ratepayers prioritised
The other problem @PresidencyZA - our elected Councillors are being shut out & prevented from exercising legislative oversight over the municipal executive. #Strandfontein Homeless camp is a perfect example. Elected opposition Cllrs are barred from entering to exercise oversight
