Councillor Gaga explained that the Makana Municipality was declared a road disaster municipality and an amount of R4 million was allocated for rectification, but this amount was not enough as the challenge was huge. Under spending was singled out as a serious challenge but the council was addressing it. The Councillor pleaded for help from Parliament for the construction of road infrastructure and rectification. All of these needed a budget of R11.6 million. The income for the municipality was R296 million in the 2011/12 financial year.
