JOHANNESBURG - The Auditor General says the City of Joburg needs urgent attention and intervention.
The City operates through entities including City Power, Pikitup and Johannesburg Water that have received unqualified audit opinions for years.
The Auditor General, Tsakane Maluleke, says the outcome for the core municipality is even worse – an audited opinion with findings.
This means the City is not producing financial statements that can be relied upon.
She says money is being spend on maintenance and infrastructure but its not being spent properly, to the detriment of residents.
