Auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke was presenting municipal audit outcomes to the standing committee on the auditor-general on Wednesday.The recent cholera deaths in Hammanskraal are a harsh reminder of the continued neglect of infrastructure by the government, according to auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke.
Maluleke was presenting municipal audit outcomes to the standing committee on the auditor-general on Wednesday. Only 38 of the country’s 257 municipalities received clean audits, down from 41 in the last financial year. The AG teams visited wastewater treatment plants, water resources, communities around the country and saw the effect of water supply issues on different communities, the brunt of untreated wastewater being discharged into water sources and far too many areas with inadequate sanitation services.
The AG said the qualification on audit often was in the area of asset management where wastewater treatment plants that were not being maintained, new wastewater treatment plants that should be on the ground but were not and yet money was going through the system.
