Rampele visits hometown
The MPac now expects the municipal manager to explain the problems, but also to say what has been done or what is being done to rectify the situation. The MPac’s own enquiry comes as a result of the Auditor General’s report for 2011/2012. The AG referred to a number of situations where no proper audit evidence (documents) could be found, an incomplete valuation roll, difficulty to re-
concile certain accounts/expenditure and contravention of supply chain management and other regulations and even the Municipal Systems Act. The AG pointed his finger at problems regarding revenue from licences and permit, problems with the assets register pertaining to especially plant and equipment, accounts payable, problem with the service level agreement between the GLM and the Mopani District
Municipality, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure, inaccurately totalled cash flow, material impairments, the nonachievement of planned targets, an substantial list of problems with the GLM’s audit committee as well as the internal audit department, procurement and contract management etcetera. These problems make it look as if rather drastic steps would have to be taken to get the GLM back on the road.

What a shame!
The affairs of the Greater Letaba Municipality (GLM) are clearly not in good shape. The the chairman of the GLM’s Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPac), Mr M J Baloyi, has now asked the municipal manager (who is the accounting officer) to respond to a number of matters. If quantified, the problems represent an amount of almost R160 million and cover various functions of the municipality.
