# The South African Local Government Association Gauteng has urged National Treasury to engage directly with municipalities before withholding equitable share allocations. The association warns that withholding funds could weaken service delivery by limiting municipalities’ ability to provide basic services and meet financial obligations. SALGA’s Motatala Madiba says enforcement measures should be fair, evidence-based, and responsive to each municipality’s circumstances. He says they pledge support to help municipalities strengthen financial management, improve compliance, and ensure sustainable service delivery.
