“I am always happy to see the AG in our offices. They know over the years that they are always welcome. For us to be a democracy we need structures like the AG that are independent to ensure that our democracy thrives. This is good practice, and it is always good to multiply this,” said the Premier.
The Limpopo Business Unit Leader of the AG, Mr. Stephen Kheleli, highlighted the significance of clean administration and how it happens during difficult times. He noted that clean administration is not achieved only during the audit process, but throughout the financial year.
The Executive Mayor of Capricorn District Municipality, Cllr Mamedupi Teffo, expressed her excitement for the award and credited the hardworking team of councillors and administrators who ensured that systems were in place to maintain the clean audit.
Cllr Teffo noted that the pressure is on to maintain the clean audit, and their goal is to push local municipalities to improve their audit outcomes.
