A press statement issued by the Good political party accused the DA-led municipality of dereliction of duty and claimed that more than R100m in National Treasury funding had been forfeited due to mismanagement.

Good councillor Rosa Louw said the municipality had once again failed to utilise the National Public Transport Grant as intended, resulting in a second consecutive loss of funding earmarked for the George Integrated Public Transport Network (GIPTN).

However, the municipality has strongly rejected these allegations.

CFO Riaan du Plessis said the claim that George had "forfeited over R100m due to mismanagement" is baseless and incorrect.
