The Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality fared poorly in recent audits and the Lekwa Local Municipality was asked to account for R1.3 billion in unauthorised, irregular, and fruitless expenditure.
Cape Town - Parliament's cooperative governance and traditional affairs portfolio committee has expressed concern at the state of affairs in the Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality at Siyabuswa and the Lekwa Local Municipality at Standerton in Mpumalanga.
Dr JS Moroka municipality was asked by members of the committee to account for R1.3 billion unauthorised, irregular, and fruitless expenditure. The delegation of the municipality told the committee that the municipality’s chief financial officer had been on suspension since 2018 and the investigations into the alleged corruption were at a final stage.
Meanwhile, the Lekwa municipality received R1 million for Covid-19-related expenses, but only R300 000 had been spent, despite residents in some areas in the municipality having no access to water for two weeks.
