Parliament questions Treasury over R13.5bn municipal funding freeze

Parliament has grilled National Treasury over its decision to withhold R13.5 billion in funding from struggling municipalities over financial mismanagement and unpaid debts. While 27 councils have had their funding restored and more are expected to receive payments, dozens remain without crucial funds as Treasury insists they meet strict financial conditions first. Phemelo speaks to the Chairperson of Parliament's Standing Committee on Finance, Dr Joe Maswanganyi, about the funding freeze, municipal accountability and what it means for service delivery. www.kaya959.co.za · Kayafm
