Chairperson, there are lot of things to consider when talking about the Municipal Infrastructure Grant, MIG; it is not an accurate answer. One of the issues is that most of these municipalities with these challenges do not have the capacity to deliver. As the department, both provincially and nationally, we are intervening to ensure that the money is well spent.
We are also exploring other measures, because in the past the department had a Municipal Infrastructure Investment Unit which was a structure aimed at ensuring that infrastructure is rolled out in municipalities as expected by the national department. The unit was abolished, but we are looking for other possibilities of reviving it. We have realised that MIG cannot be in a position to deal with the challenges prevailing in municipalities; we are therefore looking at the possibility of a special purpose vehicle which will be able to roll-out infrastructure.
We have quantified everything across the country and these issues will be taken up. As an interim measure, the department is ready to ensure that it assists municipalities with this issue and see to it that they never occur again. Thank you very much.
