The IHLM reported that 72 percent of its operational expenditure budget was used to pay for salaries. 2 percent was used to pay for repairs and maintenance and 26 percent was spent on general expenditure. The IHLM concluded that it needs financial support because its revenue base is low. The IHLM added that it has developed partnerships with international partners and it was assisted by COGTA and the O.R. Tambo District Municipality. The municipality further reported that much focus would be given to improve IDP participation and to contribute to Operation Clean Audit Campaign of COGTA.
