This letter discusses and draws parallels between three historical massacres: the 1865 Morant Bay massacre in Jamaica, the 1919 Amritsar massacre in India, and the 2010 Tivoli massacre in Jamaica. It notes that in both the Morant Bay and Amritsar massacres, the colonial governors who ordered brutal crackdowns on rebellions were praised in Britain as "saviors" despite killing hundreds, while the victims received little support. The letter argues the Jamaican response to Tivoli shows similar tendencies to overlook state violence and portray security forces as having "saved" the country, questioning if victims will be properly compensated.

INTRODUCTION
Municipal viability is a complex concept and needs in depth discussion on various issues affecting municipal viability.
The demarcation process in KwaZulu-Natal has afforded an opportunity to reflect on the consequences of re-demarcations and their effect on the viability of municipalities.
If not managed properly there could be major unintended consequences emanating from such mergers, thereby affecting municipal governance negatively.
The document discusses the rationale and implications of the proposed New Development Bank (NDB) and Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA) established by the BRICS countries. It notes that the NDB will be a physical institution headquartered in Shanghai with an office in Johannesburg, while the CRA is a virtual institution. Key issues discussed include funding requirements, the cost-benefit analysis, impacts on intergovernmental fiscal relations, and implications for the South African Reserve Bank. Quantifying the costs and benefits of the NDB is difficult given uncertainties around lending criteria and South Africa's ability to secure funding. Impacts on provinces and municipalities would depend on the nature of projects but debt would still need to flow through the national

The Financial and Fiscal Commission response commends efforts to balance fiscal stability with priorities, but calls for continued efforts to rein in the public wage bill and boost infrastructure investment through cost-reflective user fees.

While KwaZulu-Natal has performed better, spending capacity and backlog reductions vary. Solutions proposed include incentivizing spending and own contributions; improving asset management, planning and maintenance; and consolidating grants while allowing rehabilitation projects.
