The TLM reported that their roads are in a bad state as a result of poor funding. Although an MIG application was tabled by the TLM, MIG funds do not fund the upgrading of infrastructure. Business plans were presented to the Department of Roads, but only money for the previous disadvantaged area was allocated. Business plans will be presented to the Expanded Public Works Programme as well. The TLM added that its motor vehicles are in a bad shape. The Municipality added that a loan of R1.8 million was taken from DBSA to replace critical vehicles. Most needed vehicles are trucks, tractors and graders. Currently, the TLM cannot afford to buy them due to budget constraints.
