The Rural Households Infrastructure Grant was allocated an amount of R479.5 million for the 2012/13 financial year and R389 million for the financial year 2013/14. No allocations were made for the 2014/15 financial year since this grant would be incorporated into the MIG by that year. The point was made by the SALGA that the integration of this grant into the MIG needed to be done sooner than the 2014/15 financial year since the grant was persistently underperforming.
