Auditor-General posts another miserable scorecard for municipalities
First-ever certificate of debt to recover a financial loss issued to a municipal accounting officer – and 76 municipal officials referred for investigation.
It’s beginning to sound like a broken record, with the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) issuing another dismal report card for municipalities.
Only 15% of municipalities received clean audits in the 2025 fiscal year; 28% have shown improvements since 2021, and 15% have regressed over the same period.
