Scopa chair Mkhuleko Hlengwa berated the department for tabling its qualified audit report for the 2018-2019 financial year almost seven months late.
The Department of Water and Sanitation will submit a qualified audit report for the 2018-2019 financial year on 20 March almost seven months after the legislated deadline for annual reports.
The department appeared before Scopa on Wednesday to account for the late tabling of its report. Human Settlement and Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu wasn’t in attendance as she was at a Cabinet meeting. “So DG … I hope you understand very well, as far as we’re concerned, non-submission is non-compliance,” he said to acting director general of the department Mbulelo Tshangana.
TCTA’s annual report has since been tabled, and the department is busy finalising its own, which will be tabled on 20 March.Tshangana hesitated before answering. He said they received a qualified audit.
