Two #CentralSA transport departments amongst worst spenders   | News Article

Two Departments of Transport in Central South Africa have made the national top ten list of worst spenders that contributed to more than R45 595m in irregular expenditure.


According to the latest Auditor General (AG) report - for the 2017/2018 financial year – North West and Free State departments of transport made the list with several other national and provincial departments. The department of Transport in KwaZulu-Natal tops the list with R5 483bn in irregular expenditure. In the Free State, a total of R1 632bn was incurred, while R1 139bn was irregularly spent by this department in North West. The AG indicated in his report, tabled before parliament’s Portfolio Committee of Public Accounts, that irregular expenditure on multi-year contracts by departments, could be reduced through investigations that could lead to either condonement or cancellation of contracts that were irregularly awarded.
