​Municipal council has today during its scheduled sitting of council meeting approved a revised annual budget for the remainder of the current financial year following the adjustment budget process.The municipal budget policy framework makes provision for municipalities to conduct a permissible revision to the Budget during a financial year in response to changes that have affected planned municipal expenditure.In presenting the revised budget to the sitting of council, the Acting Mayor, Cllr Mandla Chiya tabled a total budget of about R1,6 billion with an allocation of about R1.3 billion to operational budget and a capital budget allocation of more than R399 million. This adjustment budget is seeking to strike a balance between on-going service delivery imperatives of water and sanitation services while also responding to the challenges of ageing municipal infrastructure throughout the district.And in ensuring a good upkeep of our infrastructure, an allocation of 4% of the total budget has been made towards the maintenance of our infrastructure.ISSUED BY:UGU DISTRICT MUNICIPALITYFor more information and media queries contact:Municipal SpokespersonMr France ZamaFrance.Zama@ugu.websitesupport.co.za​
