Mpumalanga's job creation stalls due to budgeting errors and delays, says auditor-general, with R11 billion in irregular expenditure.
Mpumalanga’s poor budgeting and project mismanagement caused the government to miss its 10 000 job target, with irregular spending soaring to R11 billion in 2023-24.The Mpumalanga government has failed to complete many infrastructure projects due to poor budgeting planning, according to the auditor-general’s recent report.
The report released by auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke’s office recently said: “The departments are prioritising many projects with limited budgets, leading to significant project delays and abandonment.“Because of poor budgeting, more than 10 000 job creation targets were not achieved in the past financial year due to delayed and halted projects,” Maluleke said in the report.
She also called on project managers to include outcome measures to enable consequence management when required outputs are not achieved.
