Much of the irregular expenditure has been carried over from previous years, in particular the botched 2014 Nicki Minaj concert and the irregular 2019 Rooiwal plant tender.

JOHANNESBURG - The City of Tshwane will be going after its own employees to recover some of the R246 million it has incurred in irregular and wasteful expenditure.Tshwane opposition accuses DA-led coalition of wasteful expenditure after creating R3M a year post

Adriana Randall, a Democratic Alliance councillor who sits on MPAC said the council voted for the city to recover the money instead of writing it off. "Those officials will now be charged and we will see how assets can be seized, whether it's pension money, houses, property, we will see how much we can recover and obviously the suppliers involved will then be blacklisted on the National Treasury supplier database."Randall said until the city officially writes off the contract, that irregular expenditure will remain on the books.
