MUNICIPALITIES LOSE R5.19BN TO IRREGULARITIES: 'WE'RE RUNNING A GANGSTER STATE'

Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke

These material irregularities refer to any non-compliance or suspected fraud.

Bongani Bingwa interviews Dr. Harlan Cloete, Public Administration Expert and
Sandile Swana, Governance Expert.

Briefing Parliament’s Standing Committee, Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke
revealed that there are 268 "material irregularities" at municipalities across
the country.

Since the office's new powers came into effect in April 2019, they have
experienced a R5.19 billion financial loss due to the irregularities.

According to Maluleke, out of the 268 material irregularities, 194 of them were
linked to a material financial loss.

Material irregularities refer to any non-compliance or suspected fraud, which
could result in material or financial loss, misuse of public material resources,
or public harm, says Cloete.

Both Cloete and Swana agree that the issue comes down to inadequate individuals
being appointed as mayors, councillors and positions alike.

They add that unfortunately, there's little to no consequences for those
committing crimes, with Swana adding that the ANC protects wrong-doers.
