The Auditor-General's recent report revealed that only 34 out of 257 municipalities received clean audits for the 2022/2023 financial year.

JOHANNESBURG - The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa is calling for accountability for public officials who facilitated corruption and mismanagement in municipalities.

This demand follows the Auditor-General's recent report, which revealed that only 34 out of 257 municipalities received clean audits for the 2022/2023 financial year. GIWUSA Spokesperson Koketso Phasha suggests that government should consider eliminating the tender system. "The 'tenderpreneurial' class is merely a symptom of this broader disease, which has infected the very fabric of the country's governance system. The fact that only 34 out of 257 local municipalities achieved clean audits, with 223 flagged as poor performers, is a testament to the systemic rot that has taken hold.
