South Africans will have to wait longer for a lifestyle audit of ministers, deputy ministers and the president himself.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the promised lifestyle audits on the president, the deputy president and members of cabinet will be taking longer than planned.
Consent from all ministers, deputies and Ramaphosa himself has been signed and delivered in writing, and only the implementation has been delayed. When challenged on how long the process has taken – first being presented when Ramaphosa took over as president in 2018 – he argued that it is better to do it properly, than to have the results challenged later for being “superficial”.Ramaphosa has touted lifestyle audits as a key tool to tackle corruption and perceptions of malfeasance in the public sector.
This step involves the utilisation of specialist auditors who will employ specialist tools to trace unexplained wealth, for example.
