National Treasury has withheld July equitable share transfers from 69 municipalities over concerns about financial management and governance.
The affected municipalities, including the City of Johannesburg, have been given conditions to meet before the funding is released. Treasury maintains the intervention is intended to strengthen fiscal discipline without disrupting service delivery.
Salga’s portfolio head for municipal finance and fiscal policy Lerato Phasha weighs in on the implications of the decision for municipalities and residents.
