The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) is calling for accountability for public officials who facilitated corruption and mismanagement in municipalities.
This demand follows the Auditor-General’s recent report, which revealed that only 34 out of 257 municipalities received clean audits for the 2022/2023 financial year.
GIWUSA Spokesperson Koketso Phasha suggests that the government should consider eliminating the tender system.
“The ‘tenderpreneurial’ class is merely a symptom of this broader disease, which has infected the very fabric of the country’s governance system. The fact that only 34 out of 257 local municipalities achieved clean audits, with 223 flagged as poor performers, is a testament to the systemic rot that has taken hold.”
Phasha insists that a strong approach is needed to address the theft of public funds.
“GIWUSA demands radical action to address this crisis, including the prosecution of corrupt officials, the dismantling of the tenderpreneurial class’s stranglehold on the state, and the implementation of genuine reforms to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective governance. However, we recognize that this report is not just an indictment of the tenderpreneurial class, but of the entire political and corporate elite.”
