SALGA's Thami Ntuli says the onus is on municipal managers and financial officers to make the necessary changes. 

"Also, the other committees which are there, such as finance portfolio, the Empac, your Exco and council, also have oversight responsibility in ensuring the adherence to the AGs action plan and recommendations. That's how SALGA we believe we can go forward having mitigated the challenges."
