The AGSA has a constitutional

mandate and exists to strengthen

our democracy by enabling

oversight, accountability and good governance in the public

sector through auditing, thereby

building public confidence

Management (accounting officers and senior management), the political

leadership (mayor and council) and oversight bodies MPACs and portfolio

committees) do not respond with the required urgency to our messages

about addressing risks and improving internal controls

If officials who deliberately or negligently ignore their duties and contravene

legislation are not held accountable for their actions, such behaviour can

be seen as acceptable and tolerated.

The instability and prolonged vacancies in key positions can cause a

competency gap that leads to a high demand for consultants and

support.

With no IE =

19

Municipality Amount (million) Nature

OR Tambo District (EC) R1 569

(2014-15: R94)

The irregular expenditure is mainly due to various awards for water

and sanitation projects e.g. Flagstaff Sewer Rectification Project).

Procurement without competitive bidding or quotation process and

bids advertised for shorter periods than allowed – mainly for water

and sanitation projects.

Nelson Mandela Bay Metro (EC) R1 286

(2014-15: R1 348)

Numerous contracts where the SCM processes were not followed

resulting from a complete breakdown in controls over SCM. Awards

were made (R216 million) to persons employed by the state and

deviations were approved after the relevant goods and services

were ordered.

Ngaka Modiri Molema District (NW) R912

(2014-15: R56)

Payments were made on’ multi-year contracts that were previously

identified to be irregular. A significant part relates to construction of

water and sanitation infrastructure assets funded from the

municipal infrastructure grant.

Mbombela (MP) R755

(2014-15: R107)

Multiple contracts were extended even though it was not impractical

to invite competitive bids.

City of Tshwane Metro (GP) R653

(2014-15: R1 010)

Irregular expenditure mostly relates to the Wi-Fi contract where the

supplier was appointed without following competitive bidding

processes. A BRT tender was also awarded to a contractor not

qualified to deliver the service.

Recommendations for improving SCM findings

• A less tolerant approach by all parties, including those charged with governance and oversight, will result in

accountability and consequences being enforced against those who intentionally fail to comply with legislation

• Strengthen the SCM control environment by appointing suitably skilled and qualified heads of SCM where

vacancies exist and conduct regular training to improve skills – this will reduce possible irregular expenditure

• Implement SCM compliance checklists to supplement policies and procedures

• Submit regular reports to management and governance structures on compliance with key legislation

• Corrective or disciplinary action for misconduct

• Focus on preventing irregular expenditure and non-compliance – these should be a key performance

measure in senior official’s contracts

The findings

• 37 municipalities (14%) did not set key performance indicators for delivery of

basic services (water, electricity, sanitation and refuse removal)

• Indicators not well defined (23%) or verifiable (21%)

• Targets not measurable (18%) or specific enough (16%)

• 27 municipalities (10%) had no performance management systems

• 26 municipalities (10%) had inadequate performance management systems

• 17 municipalities (6%) had no mechanisms to monitor or review performance

• 3% did not prepare APR – 6 from the Northern Cape

• Reported information not consistent with what was included in the plan (24%)

• Reported achievement was not reliable at 45% municipalities

• 80% of APR submitted for audit was materially misstated. After corrections were made, it was 49%, an improvement from the 38% in 2014-15

• Progress made towards useful and reliable performance reporting is slow. This affects the ability of communities to hold municipalities

accountable and makes it difficult for provincial and national government to track progress towards the service delivery goals.

Emerging risks

1. mSCOA will be implemented from 1 July 2017

2. The use of the central supplier database (CSD) and the eTender portal was compulsory from 1 July 2016

• The SCM policy at 139 municipalities was not updated to invite quotations from suppliers registered on the CSD

• 118 municipalities still use their own database of prospective suppliers that is not synchronised with the CSD

• The SCM policy at 144 municipalities was not updated to invite competitive bids through the eTender portal

3. Contracts of municipal managers and senior management (including CFOs) are ending in 2016-17
