Limpopo Premier Ramathuba aims to improve municipal audits by recruiting skilled financial staff and reducing consultant reliance.
After a dismal audit outcome performance that saw Limpopo’s 27 municipalities spending more than R279 million on consultants to perform financial reporting last financial year, Limpopo premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba is on drive to turn things around.Auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke reprimanded the province last year for over-reliance on consultants.“We have now embarked on a recruitment drive to attract the necessary skills to do financials in our books,” said Ramathuba.
Worse, she said, most of those who paid the exorbitant amounts still failed to improve their annual audit outcomes. Meanwhile, Salga Limpopo chair John Mpe called on ward councillors to remain in their constituencies after they are elected to lead communities.
