M inister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Velenkosini Hlabisa said na tional government needs to step in and help the 10 worst municipalities in the country.
Hlabisa was speaking after auditor-general (AG) Tsakani Maluleke presented the 2022-23 local government audit outcomes to the portfolio committee on cooperative governance and traditional affairs yesterday.
Hlabisa said the 10 worst-performing municipalities came from Eastern Cape, Free State and Northern Cape.
"We will be very focused on these municipalities. That is where the point of coordination and cooperation will have to come into play," he said.
According to the AG's report, only 13% of municipalities received clean audits between 2022 and 2023. The Western Cape has the most well-run municipalities.
