Hon Chairperson, related to what you have just said that you cannot blame municipalities in all cases because of the lack of professionals. There are currently municipalities that have been informed by National Treasury that their quarterly payment of the equitable payment will not be paid, in terms of section 216(2) of other Constitution. The residents of these municipalities will suffer as a result of noncompliance by these municipal councils. How will your department mitigate the effect of this on basic essential service delivery and prevent the most vulnerable residents from suffering the consequences. Are you engaging the Minister of Finance on this issue with regard to nonpayment in terms of section 216?
