Release of equitable municipal shares based on opportunism: Shivambu

“For political convenience, the National Treasury has now decided to release the equitable shares of the budgets in municipalities which were not meeting the minimum requirement to receive the equitable shares that will help and that is done because of political opportunism because of elections, it is not done because of service delivery,” The Afrika Mayibuye Movement believes Parliament is not the correct platform to conduct inquiries of the nature that the Madlanga Commission is looking into.

The Madlanga Commission has demonstrated that parliament is perhaps not the correct instrument to conduct inquiries of the nature that Madlanga Commission is looking into.

The Afrika Mayibuye Movement says the recent release of equitable shares to municipalities is based on political opportunism because of the upcoming local elections and not due to service delivery.
