THE City of Tshwane's administration has come under serious scrutiny after a municipal council report revealed a staggering R336 million in irregular expenditure in the fourth quarter of the 2024/25 financial year.

- RAPULA MOATSHE

The report showed that the irregular expenditure stemmed from extension of tenders in several departments, including group property management, roads and transport, water and sanitation, group legal services, and the Tshwane Metro Police Department.

Councillors from different political parties have blasted the city’s administration officials for failing to adhere to proper tender-awarding procedures as stipulated in the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA).

They believed the report on irregular expenditure raises questions about the city's financial management and accountability.

EFF councillor Trevor Moloisane said it was unacceptable that a whopping R336m in irregular expenditure was incurred in just three months.
