Audit Outcomes expose corruption and maladministration in City of Cape Town
The failure of the City of Cape Town to get the clean audit as revealed by the
Auditor General is yet another confirmation of our view that the DA
administration is riddled with fraud, corruption, maladministration. The lies
of clean, efficient and effective governance which they have been shamelessly
feeding our people over the years have once again been exposed.
Since 2006 the DA lead City of Cape Town has been spending millions of rands,
hiring Public Relations agencies in order to deliberately mislead the public
and pretend to be the best and legally compliant municipality. The poor have
never had confidence in the governance of the DA in the metro because they have
directly experienced the blatant disregard for their service delivery needs as
well the rot and self-enrichment of the DA. According to Auditor General "the
City of Cape Town failed to get a clean audit report this year, partly because
it spent nearly R35 million on contracts awarded to council employees or their
close relatives and fell down on few issues of legal compliance in awarding
tenders ”. This is clearly a deliberate violation of procurement and supply
chain regulations in order to benefit the DA and its middle class benefactors.
The audit findings are an explosive blow false image the DA has created. The
revelations also come when the DA denies siphoning the missing R1.5 billion of
tax-payers money in the year just ended. As the SACP in Brian Bunting District
we are not surprised as we have been saying the City of Cape Town does nothing
for the poor people of this city but they spend tax payer’s money in the
affluent areas and hiring PR agencies to defend their maladministration.
Contrary to the image portrayed by the DA and main stream liberal media as the
best City in the world, the reality is that this City is in a crises of poor
service delivery, corruption and maladministration. Our people in the African
and Coloured communities continue to live in squalor without sanitation, safe
drinking water, electricity and properly resourced schools in the informal
settlement that make it impossible for ambulances, police and fire fighters to
get into the area during emergencies. Hence the City of Cape Town, under the DA
administration is leading nationally in terms of community protest and it has
failed to deliver houses hence the backlog has doubled since they got into
power.
