Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg pass adjustment budgets
25 February 2022
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is delighted to announce that the DA-led coalition governments in the City of Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg passed their adjustment budgets for the 2021/2022 financial year.
These municipalities have been operating on ANC-approved budgets since last year, making it extremely hard for the multi-party coalition governments to implement new plans and speed up service delivery.
In Ekurhuleni, Mayor Tania Campbell inherited massive service delivery backlogs with the municipality being in a poor financial state.
Mayor Campbell announced that the back-to-basics adjustment budget will prioritise infrastructure and economic development. R117 million has been allocated to promote the security of energy supply – a further R40 million for maintenance and R77 million for new infrastructure.
