Among concerns raised by auditor-general office official Odwa Duda this month were:

The write-off of debt incurred for the funeral did not comply with section 32(2) of the Municipal Finance Management Act as the municipal manager did not ensure compliance with all requirements. This misled the council into resolving in 2016 to write off the debt.

The accounting officer’s report was not subjected to section 32 committees for investigation.

R1.8 million paid by companies to the municipality could not be linked to them, giving rise to suspicion of money laundering.
