Abstract
The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the impact of free basic services (FBS) implementation with special reference to Amahlathi Local Municipality. FBS is one of the poverty alleviation programmes that are on centre stage of cushioning the poor against vulnerability. The implementing organ of this programme lies with local municipalities, because of being in the centre of services delivery. The role played by the national sphere of government in this regard, is the funding through the Equitable Share allocation and formulation of National Policies that will guide the FBS implementation process. The provincial tier of government should provide the hands on support to municipalities to ensure that, all the necessary systems are in place for rolling out FBS and assist municipalities to unlock the blockages experienced during the FBS implementation process.
