Metro View The average per capita expenditure in the metros in <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong> was R313,<br />

about 20% more than the national average of R256. This is probably to a<br />

large extent due to the local authority contribution by these large metros,<br />

which generally have a good ratepayers’ tax base. All of the metros, with the<br />

exception of Nelson Mandela Bay, were above the national average. The<br />

three Gauteng metros and eThekwini (KwaZulu-Natal) were tightly clustered<br />

around R300 per capita. The local authority contribution in the six metros<br />

totalled nearly R1.2 billion and accounted for 32% of total PHC expenditure<br />

in these districts.<br />

Rural Nodes<br />

The average per capita expenditure in the rural districts in <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong> was<br />

R218, about 20% below the national average of R256 per capita. Seven of<br />

the twelve districts were close to the rural average with only one, Greater<br />

Sekhukhune (LP) significantly lower. Three of the four Eastern Cape districts<br />

were tightly clustered around R200 per capita with one, Chris Hani (R254<br />

per capita), maintaining an inequitable value above the other three. A<br />

very similar situation was shown in KwaZulu-Natal with three of the four<br />

districts clustered around R220 per capita, with Umkhanyakude inequitably<br />

receiving R308 per capita.<br />
