The South African Local Government Association SALGA has called on National Treasury to immediately release the Local Government Equitable Share tranche for 75 municipalities across the country.
National Treasury issued two circulars in September this year, outlining its intention to invoke Section 216 2 of the Constitution and Section 38 of the Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003.
Salga says these measures permitted the Treasury withdrawal of the equitable shares, which support critical municipal functions.
