Durban - A damning report into the eThekwini Municipality’s controversial Revenue Management System has recommended that a senior city official be charged for financial misconduct, after the project ballooned from an estimated R150million to a staggering R1.1billion - 666% over budget.
The report claimed the costs were still mounting as additional changes were required to the system, as it was “incomplete” and needed to meet legislative requirements. According to the report, between April 2004 and March 2006, the project’s budget grew to R250.8m, and then to R650m in April 2015. Nzuza said it would not be fair for him to comment on the charge against the official and that the disciplinary process should be allowed to run its course.
It found that some R743m had been paid to service providers, contrary to the R1.2bn estimate that had been claimed by investigators.
