flag South Africa’s auditor orders a municipal manager to repay R4.6 million in mismanaged drought relief funds by year-end.

flag South Africa’s Auditor-General has issued the first certificate of debt under the amended Public Audit Act, requiring the municipal manager of Ngaka Modiri Molema district to repay R4.6 million in losses from a mismanaged water tanker tender. flag The overpayments, due to inflated mileage and hours claimed by a service provider during a 2018–2021 drought relief program, resulted from poor contract oversight and the manager’s failure to act despite repeated warnings. flag The order marks a significant enforcement milestone, making the official personally liable for repayment, including interest, by year-end.
