ActionSA Will Vote Against Tshwane Adjustment Budget
28 February 2022
Today, 28 February 2022, ActionSA will vote against the adjustment budget of the multi-party coalition in the City of Tshwane despite being a signatory party to the coalition.
Through this adjustment budget process ActionSA made representations regarding our service delivery priorities for inclusion in the adjustment budget. These important representations have been ignored.
The adjustment budget to be tabled today in Tshwane not only failed to allocate additional funds to hasten the resolution of the Hammanskraal water crisis, but the budget allocation was reduced by R65 million.
While the City was committed to starting phase 2 of the project, prior to 1 July 2022, the impact of the phase 1 reduction of R65 million means that this phase will not be completed until October 2022.
