Deputy Speaker, the ANC is convinced that the plan to assessment we have made of municipalities and our plan to deal with the problems there has been a correct one. We are convinced that the plan to improve capacity throughout government, the DPLG itself and especially Treasury to deal with these issues is the correct one.
We are convinced that the hands-on support to municipalities led by the President, the Deputy President, Ministers and Cabinet Ministers is the correct kind. It signifies our determination to work with municipalities to deal with the problems that have been identified in communities. So, the ANC quite happily supports this Budget Vote. [Applause.]
Vote agreed to (Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, African Christian Democratic Party, and the United Party of South Africa dissenting).
