In response to concerns raised about the number of blocked projects, rectification, poor spending and inadequate co-ordination between the province, district and the local municipality, it was indicated that the presentation by the municipality was not a true reflection of the situation. For example on the issue of non-cooperation by the province, it was indicated that most of the projects were approved. However, it was discovered that those projects were not incorporated in the IDP. Meetings with the Umsunduzi municipality were held monthly to deal with issues of legislative requirements, etc. Unspent funding affected about 54 municipalities and the province was in the process of consulting with each one individually. The unspent funds needed to be transferred to areas in need of funding.
