• Auditor-General's dire findings

This was revealed in the auditor-general's report in Pretoria yesterday.

The infamous National Youth Development Agency, which made headlines last year by hosting a youth conference costing millions, was among the biggest spenders. The agency blew R68m because of supply chain management issues (SCM), wasted R2m and lost assets worth R39m.

Most entities seem to have struggled with managing their supply chain.

The National Lottery Board irregularly spent R11m. The Road Accident Fund wasted R26m and lost R15m due to scam issues. The Robben Island Museum blew a total of R35m. Auditor-General Terence Nombembe, pictured, listed SCM as one of the crucial areas that public entities and government departments were struggling with.

"The biggest issue is supply chain, especially when it comes to procurement. The rules are known but there is constant deviation from this," Nombembe said.

Added to the supply chain woes are problems with financial reporting. Most entities failed to provide adequate annual and monthly financial statements. Service delivery and compliance with regulations were problems.

Only 8% of public institutions received qualified audits, meaning a fraction had their books in order.

Taxpayers money wasted and what do we get from the President?

Silence and an occassional middle finger when he addresses us.

VIVA ANC! Screw paupers with no services and still living in shacks and walking down streets overflowing with raw sewage. Hopefully, one day S. Africans will learn to use their vote wisely!

This is the results of cadre deployment. Our departments will never improve unless we separate between Admin and politics. The ANC is doing nothing about that. We need a strong ruling party which can address such. I think DA is capable of doing that. Lets vote for DA in the next coming elections. We must deal away with ANC as it is tired and old. Viva DA viva

Poor reporting Sowetan, The Star puts the figure at a staggering R 20bn, not R 2bn. You need to be a reliable source of information so that we don’t have to double check “facts” that you should get right the first time around. Unfortunately this happens a lot with your publication.

I love the ANC. They are the greatest beneficiaries of apartheid. The whites built a grand civilization that SA is, oppressed blacks and denied them education thereby making them kow-towers who are happy to live off crumbs from their fellow blacks (anything but white). The few blacks that protested were locked up and others jumped the borders. They came back as heroes to enjoy the luxuries of white civilization and are raping and pillaging state coffers whilst their own brethren wallow in raw sewage! Amandla!
