SOWETAN | Act now on municipal dysfunction: Listening to Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke detail how audit outcomes for municipalities across the country continue to regress has become our annual horror show.
So why do we keep hearing this with no improvement? you may ask. Perhaps the answer lies with leadership.
Releasing the outcomes of the 257 municipalities last week, Maluleke painted another bleak picture of governance at the local level, with only 38 councils receiving clean audits, down from 41 the previous year.to Maluleke, municipalities recorded R4.74bn in fruitless and wasteful expenditure, R25.47bn in unauthorised expenditure and spent R1.6bn in ineffective consultants.
She highlighted instability, inadequate skills, governance failures, poor financial management, lack of accountability and lack of consequence management as causal factors at the heart of this unending crisis.
