9.1 Eastern Cape The Province of Eastern Cape supported the Bill and raised the following issues for consideration: . The revenue raising component of the equitable share formulae must be reviewed to address the matter of municipalities that are struggling to generate their own revenue; . The equitable share allocations are based on numbers and do not take into account the uniqueness and geographical spread of the province and the different municipalities; . The equitable share allocations must also provide an allocation that deals specifically with the old infrastructure backlog due to the decaying infrastructure around the Province; and . Indicative figures of the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) allocations for the outer years which appeared on the 2010/11 Division of Revenue (DOR) Bill for Cacadu district municipality do not appear in the 2011/12 DOR Bill. 9.2 Free State The Province of Free State supported the Bill and proposed the following amendment to the Bill: . In Clause 16(3), the Province proposes to extend the minimum notice period of 7 days to 14 days in order to provide sufficient time to the receiving officer to provide reasons why an allocation should not be withheld.
