The MFMA refers to funding of expenditure and states:

- cash-backed accumulated funds from previous years' surpluses not committed for other purposes; and
- borrowed funds; but only for the capital budget referred to in section 17(2).
Revenue projections in the budget must be realistic, taking into account: - projected revenue for the current year based on collection levels to date; and - actual revenue collected in previous financial years

National Treasury guides that when municipalities revise their rates, tariffs and other
charges for their 2019/2020 budgets and MTREF, taking into account the overall
economic pressures such as inflation and economic growth and conclude on a
justifiable tariff in line with the CPI. Municipality is in a process to ensure that tariffs are
cost reflective.
B. Funding choices and management issues
Priority for the 2019/2020 financial year are given to the following:
Ensuring that drinking water and waste water management meets the required
quality standards at all times;
Protecting the poor;
Supporting meaningful local economic development (LED) initiatives that foster
micro and small business opportunities and job creation;
Securing the health of their asset base (especially the municipality’s revenue
generating assets) by increasing spending on repairs and maintenance; and
Expediting spending on capital projects that are funded by conditional grants
