Cosatu expressed deep concern over the Auditor General's report revealing a dire state of South Africa's municipalities, urging the government to take immediate action to address the alarming issues highlighted.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) is deeply distressed by the recent Auditor General’s report into the state of our 257 municipalities.
It paints a scary insight into what is happening in local government. But it also provides clear focal points to government on what must be fixed.
On virtually every indicator, the AG’s report exposes a depressing picture of local government.
Only 39 out of 257 municipalities or 15% achieved clean audits with all 8 metros failing and 5 municipalities not even bothering to submit their reports timeously.
