ANC and EFF express differing views on AG report of Ekurhuleni finances

On Tuesday council tabled the AG’s reports which indicated fruitless and waste expenditure from the municipality.According to the AG a total of R516 million irregular expenditure was reported. A total of R81 million worth of fruitless expenditure was also found.

“The disappointing audit outcome signals a lapse in the internal controls that were maturing and subsequently producing the back-to-back clean audit during the ANC-led City of Ekurhuleni,” Dlabathi.“The audit outcomes confirms that observation about the sudden lack of prudent political oversight on matters of finance and supply chain management.

Dlabathi commended the administrative efforts of ensuring they did not end up with the worse audit opinion. “The EFF Gauteng welcomes the audit findings and appluds the commendable efforts of its representatives in the City of Ekurhuleni,” the party said in a statement.
