2. National Treasury and the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) should, before 30 June 2012, have a one-on-one interaction on all the issues of uncertainty and concerns raised in SALGA's presentation. The interaction should specifically cover the calculation of the Local Government Equitable Share Formula and how SALGA's participation in the budget process can be improved. A report on this meeting, detailing the way forward, should be provided to the Committee. SALGA should continue to interact with Parliament, National Treasury, and the Financial and Fiscal Commission on their concerns.
