9.1 The Committee has observed the remarkable improvements in certain areas, such as a decrease in backlogs, but, in other areas, no improvement has been made. An example here is MIG spending. Interventions were implemented to address the challenges of 2006/07 and 2007/08. These interventions are mostly on-going and demonstrate improved service delivery, good governance and capacity at municipalities. The Department should continue providing this kind of support to its municipalities in the Province.
