There is no doubt that human settlements, water & sanitation minister Lindiwe Sisulu has a mountain to climb in cleaning up a department that has been plagued by corruption and financial mismanagement for years.
She inherited a bankrupt department with billions of rand in arrears. Much of the financial mismanagement is laid at the door of former minister Nomvula Mokonyane, who was accused at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture of accepting bribes from facilities management company Bosasa. Mokonyane has denied wrongdoing.
The unenviable task is made even more difficult by the lack of capacity to deal with the large number of cases to be investigated and the diminished ability of the department to recover the losses based on insufficient available information.
