Speaker, 100% of the revenue collected by municipalities goes to them. For instance, municipalities will collect money for water, electricity - they buy and sell electricity and make a profit, rates and taxes and it all goes to municipalities.
Now, it is quite important that municipalities are able to manage these finances and are able to collect this revenue. Their billing system must be strengthened. As we speak, municipalities are not collecting 100% of what is owed to them because of the discrepancies in their billing system. The department of Co-operative Governance
and Traditional Affairs is doing everything it can to help them enhance their billing system.
National government is supporting municipalities through grants. These are grants that are given to municipalities for infrastructure for that and that but in the main, revenue that is collected by municipalities remain with them. Thank you very much.
