[PRESIDENT'S DESK] Efforts to improve the lives of South Africans will only succeed when we effectively address the challenges in local government. Moneyweb LocalGovernment
Efforts to improve the lives of South Africans will only succeed when we effectively address the challenges in local government. Last week, the Auditor-General released the Municipal Audit Outcomes for 2021/2022. It is worrying that only 38 out of 257 municipalities – and only two out of the eight metros – achieved clean audits.
In the last year, around 88 municipalities failed to spend at least 10% of their Municipal Infrastructure Grant, which is supposed to be used for eradicating infrastructure backlogs. Another challenge is that money that is not allocated for a specific purpose is often misspent. A number of municipalities state that they do not have sufficient funds to implement programmes and projects.
