The Senqu Local Municipality has kept its books clean for past five years. Mayor Nomvuyo Mposelwa says not even her comrades in ANC were interested in finding out how Senqu officials had succeeded so they could create a benchmark for other municipalities
learn how it has managed to keep its books clean for the past fNomvuyo Mposelwa, Senqu municipality’s mayor, told City Press on Friday that only the battling Sakhisizwe Local Municipality, which falls under the Chris Hani District Municipality, has shown an interest in meeting with the consistently well-performing Senqu to find out how it can also receive a clean audit.
Speaking in isiXhosa, Mposelwa said the ANC was quiet about Senqu’s achievement, adding that it should be proud and encourage the municipality rather than play politics. She worries about dropping the ball, but says that, if the “culture of accountability” is maintained, as well as good relations between politicians and the administration, and strong financial controls, it is unlikely that she will fail.
“We have zero tolerance for noncompliance. What also helps is that we have relative stability in the top management. We have a long-serving municipal manager and directors. This helps to keep institutional memory.”
