AG says municipalities need to implement financial plans
Auditor General Tsakani Maluleke says municipalities need to urgently implement strategies that will improve the management of their finances.
Maluleke was hosted by the National Press Club on Thursday.
It was to mark five years since her office was given additional powers after it became clear that state institutions were not taking the AG office’s findings and recommendations seriously.
Maluleke said municipalities need to learn to use the little resources they have strategically.
