Good Morning

Madam Speaker, it is my honour to welcome all councillors and officials as well as the stakeholders to this Special Council sitting.

We are meeting here today when we have lost one of the greatest leaders ever produced by our country and our movement the African National Congress. Tata Nelson Mandela Madiba`s revolutionary spirit will continue to inspire our efforts to ensure that the poor and the working class truly benefit from the material fruits of the freedom for which he fought for. Let us together re-double our efforts to realize his vision, shared by his people and humanity, for a better Mutale, Limpopo, South Africa, a better Africa and indeed a better humanity.

Madam Speaker, section 28 of Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) provides that a municipality may revise an approved annual budget through an adjustment budget.

The adjustment budget must focus on the following:

  • Revenue and expenditure estimates downward if there is material under collection of revenue during the current year.
  • May authorize the utilizations of projected saving is one vote towards ending spending another.
  • May authorized the spending of funds that were unspent
  • May correct any errors in the annual budget and may provide for any other expenditure within a prescribed format

Therefore, Madam Speaker, the Council should approves the Adjustments budget for 2013/2014 Financial year in order for the Mutale Local Municipality to comply with the provisions of section 28 (1-7).

BUDGET

Madam Speaker, our 2013/2014 budget is adjusted as follows:

Budget / Adjustment budget / Reason
Income / R92 538 099 million / R112 829 412 / Rollover from Disaster grant and under collection in Rates
Operational expenditure / R64 115 107 million / R 61 360 821 / Austerity measures

This is due to R24 700 000 received from National Disaster Management Centre at the end of 2012/2013 financial year for emergency relief to address areas that were affected by floods at the beginning of the year 2013.
