EXTRACTS FROM A SPEECH BY COBUS DOWRY, WESTERN CAPE MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AT THE HANDING OVER OF A R33 MILLION CHEQUE BY THE PREMIER OF THE WESTERN CAPE TO THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN, Library Hall, Mitchell's Plain, 5 December 2003
R33 MILLION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN
This week is Local Government Week and with this cheque handover of R33 million to the City of Cape Town we once again commit ourselves to service delivery for all. This is the biggest Consolidated Municipal Infrastructure Programme (CMIP) payment in the Western Cape in its seven-year existence.
One of the programmes in the Department of Local Government is the provision of infrastructure. The CMIP is aimed at providing at least basic levels of services to low income households. The primary objective of CMIP is to provide funding to municipalities to minimise infrastructural backlogs through the provision of basic levels of infrastructure services to low-income households within a period of ten years. In the supply of infrastructure CMIP is targeting the most vulnerable communities and sectors of society such as women, youth and the disabled for job creation.
The City of Cape Town is the major beneficiary of R115,6 million of our total CMIP allocation of R184 million. Therefore the City's share translates to 63%. This project is a partnership between the Provincial Government of the Western Cape and the City of Cape Town.
Sedert die inwerkstelling van GMIP is nagenoeg R578 miljoen op 818 infrastruktuur projekte in die sewe projekkategorie
