GRANT FUNDING<br />
Operational Grant Funding<br />
The Municipality receives primary operational funding in the form of three grants<br />
namely equitable share; the financial management grant (FMG) and the municipal systems<br />
infrastructure grant (MSIG).<br />
While the equitable share is designed to cover operational expenditure of the<br />
Municipality that cannot be generated from the rendering of services the FMG and the<br />
MSIG are made available to the Municipality on an annual basis in terms of a schedule of<br />
activities to be funded from the proceeds of the respective grant funds. However,<br />
should the Municipality require these funds to be used for an alternative purpose (within<br />
the scope of the intention of the funding), application can be made to the Provincial<br />
Treasury for approval to use the funds for an alternative purpose. For each of the<br />
operational grants received (and the capital grants as well), the Municipality maintains a<br />
separate banking account into which the proceeds of the grants are paid.<br />
