SAIRR: WC Leads in Free Basic Services Delivery
The proportion of households receiving free basic services from Western Cape municipalities is significantly higher than the average provided to households nationally in 2009, according to a survey published by the South African Institute for Race Relations (SAIRR).
In a press statement, SAIRR’s Kerwin Lebone, points out that a survey it conducted found that some 82 percent, 69 percent and 52 percent of the Western Cape households receive free basic water, sanitation and solid waste management services respectively.
“...the information indicates that Western Cape municipalities have sound revenue-collection mechanisms in place, relatively superior infrastructure, and the willingness or capability to spend money on the provision of essential services to indigent households,” explains Lebone.
