9.8 Northern Cape The Province of Northern Cape supported the Bill and raised the following concerns: . With the re-demarcation and incorporation of the Kgalagadi District Municipality (the John Taole Gaitsewe District Municipality) into the Province of Northern Cape, the conditional grants were never adjusted to accommodate the transitional arrangements. This continues to put pressure on the provincial fiscus; . The cutting of the equitable share by 0.3 per cent could adversely affect service delivery; and . The withholding of funds for non-performing infrastructure projects must be done in proper consultation with provincial governments. The CIDB principles should be reviewed to accommodate the unique conditions present in the Northern Cape Province.
