Abstract
The Auditor-General gave only seven out of 237 municipalities clean audits for the 2010-2011 financial year. This is no wonder, says HENDRICK KANYANE, as municipalities in the rural areas are not financially viable because their revenue base has been depleted by a culture of non-payment, corrupt supply-chain management and weak accountability mechanisms.-
