National Treasury Assesses Rollover of R2.19 Billion Infrastructure Grant for North West
What happened
Ten North West municipalities have applied to National Treasury for permission to roll over unspent infrastructure grants into the new financial year. The province was previously aiming for full expenditure of its R2.19-billion Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) allocation. National Treasury is currently assessing these applications under MFMA Circular 134, noting that requests must demonstrate commitments to specific projects rather than simply retaining unused cash.

Why it matters
The applications concern conditional funding that ordinarily reverts to the National Revenue Fund if not approved for rollover. The Treasury stated that requests must arise from unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances to qualify for the extension.
