[2] [a] With regard to the targets, municipalities depend on the applications from households who meet the qualifying criteria for the indigent support grant. There appears to be no target as the number of registered indigent households depends on demand.
[b] Table 1 above reflects the numbers achieved in the respective years.
[3] Table 2 below shows the budget amounts for the 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 financial years for municipalities.
