3.7.3 TCLM admitted that they have thirty-three (33) percent vacancy rate which obviously led to capacity constraints. TCLM attributed this high vacancy rate to inability to recruit scarce skills because municipalities are offering unattractive packages when they are compared to packages offered by the private sector. The Committee advised that TCLM should explore other options of developing and retaining scarce skills, including Private Public Partnerships. TCLM committed itself to providing the Committee with additional information on qualifications and vacancy rate for their municipality.
