ActionSA Leads as Key SA Metros Fail to Disclose AG Reports
Press Statement by Michael Beaumont
ActionSA National Chairperson
ActionSA has learnt on good authority that the metro municipalities of the City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Cape Town have all failed to table the auditor general’s report into the state of governance in those metro municipalities by the deadline set in law of the end of January this year according to the Municipal Finance Management Act.
It is believed that in the case of all three of these metros adverse or regressive audit outcomes have been issued by the auditor general and these municipalities’ failure to meet the legal obligations of tabling these reports arises from their ongoing efforts to engage the auditor general to amend the audit outcomes.
It is of significant concern that three metros of the economic social and economic importance of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Cape Town are regressing in their audit outcomes, and equally concerning that they are hiding this information from their residents and the South African people more broadly.
ActionSA is please to confirm that against the backdrop of this revelation, ActionSA mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya in the City of Tshwane not only ensure that the AG report was tabled within the legal timeframe, but that the AG report included improved audit outcomes from the prior financial year.
South Africans are facing a crisis in local government arising from municipalities being led by political parties that have failed the South African people consistently over many years. This is why ActionSA is working tirelessly to provide a viable and credible alternative to the millions of South Africans disillusioned by these failures by showcasing the achievements of our leaders in fixing broken municipalities.
