ActionSA welcomes the Auditor-General’s 2024/25 audit outcomes for the City of Tshwane, which confirm a clear and measurable improvement in the City’s financial governance.
The reduction in qualification areas from six in the previous financial year to only two in 2024/25 is evidence that the current administration is beginning to repair the damage left behind by years of Democratic Alliance mismanagement.
It is important to remind residents where Tshwane stood when ActionSA entered government. In the 2021/22 financial year, under the DA’s leadership, the City received an adverse audit opinion. This is the most severe outcome available to the Auditor-General and signalled a complete collapse of governance, financial controls and administrative leadership. The following year, 2022/23, the DA again delivered a qualified audit opinion, this time with thirteen different qualification areas. These outcomes exposed the depth of the institutional decay that ActionSA inherited when we were called upon to help stabilise the capital city.
Today’s results show a City moving in a different direction. While the audit outcome remains qualified, the narrowing of qualification areas from six to two demonstrates that ActionSA’s influence in the coalition, along with the leadership of the Executive Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, is producing real and measurable progress. The turnaround is gradual but undeniable.
We particularly welcome the improvement at Housing Company Tshwane, which has achieved an unqualified audit opinion for the 2024/25 financial year. This is a significant step forward for an entity that has struggled for years. We also note the continued unqualified outcome at the Tshwane Economic Development Agency. These results reflect an improving governance culture within the City’s entities and show what is possible when competent leadership and political will are present.
ActionSA is proud to support an administration that is restoring accountability, strengthening financial controls and insisting on clean governance. The improvements reflected in the 2024/25 audit outcomes stand in stark contrast to the chaos presided over by the DA, whose legacy of financial negligence will take years to fully undo. What we are seeing now is the beginning of a steady recovery.
While much work remains to move the City out of qualified audit status, the direction of travel is clear. Tshwane is rebuilding. ActionSA will continue to support the Executive Mayor and the administration in driving further improvements, enforcing consequence management, and delivering the transparent, professional government that residents deserve.
ActionSA is committed to ensuring that this progress continues and that the City never again returns to the state of collapse reflected in the DA’s 2021/22 adverse audit opinion. Tshwane is on the road to recovery and we will not allow it to be derailed.
