3.9.4 South African Local Government Association (SALGA) advised municipalities to use their scarce resources effectively. SALGA added on saying that Members are expected to visit projects that are being implemented by municipalities in order to verify the success of these projects. SALGA cited an example in Buskbuckridge where a municipality claimed that they had a successful project but, on inspection, it was found that there was no project. SALGA advised municipalities in rural areas like Nkomazi Local Municipality to identify innovative ways of generating their own revenue. For example, SALGA reported that there was land in Mpumalanga that was selling for approximately R1 million per plot and these plots are highly sought after for the erection of holiday homes.
