CAPE TOWN - Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke has told Parliament that "material irregularities" by municipalities have led to a financial loss of R5.19 billion.Maluleke was briefing Parliament’s standing committee on the Auditor-General on their annual report and their report on municipal material irregularities.

Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke said their report took a closer look at the loss of public resources through material irregularities."In 194 instances of these material irregularities, we were able to link it to a material financial loss. We were then able to estimate a cumulative value of R5.19 billion of financial loss.""We’ve been able to get R182 million back into the fiscus of financial losses that have been recovered.

Maluleke again raised the issue of an overreliance on consultants where auditees don’t get value for money.
