The District Municipality celebtrates anothe milestone – A Total of 8 Clean Audits in the Municipality’s History .
The Joe Gqabi District Municipality (JGDM) is proud to announce that it has achieved a clean audit outcome for the 2024/25 financial year, marking its fifth consecutive clean audit and bringing the municipality’s total to eight clean audit outcomes since its establishment.
This consistent performance reflects the municipality’s unwavering commitment to sound financial management, ethical leadership, and transparent governance. Over the years, JGDM has entrenched itself as a provincial and national leader in good governance, consistently setting a benchmark for excellence in the local government sector.
Executive Mayor, Cllr Nomvuyo Mposelwa, celebrated the achievement, describing it as both a milestone and a motivation to push even further in strengthening service delivery.
“This clean audit outcome is a testament to disciplined leadership and the hard work of our administration, Council, and all our employees. We have once again demonstrated that clean governance is not an event for us but a culture.” said the Executive Mayor.
The Executive Mayor emphasised that while the district has achieved financial governance excellence, significant service delivery challenges persist, particularly in water and sanitation provision.
“This clean audit outcome demonstrates that we manage public funds with discipline and accountability. However, we are equally reminded that our people judge us by the services they receive every day: reliable water, functioning infrastructure, and responsive local government. Our clean audits are not an end in themselves; they are the foundation on which we are building better service delivery,” she said.
Reflecting on the journey of the past five years, the Executive Mayor highlighted the deliberate steps the municipality continues to take to strengthen institutional stability and improve service delivery outcomes.
“We are on a firm path to enhance water provision, infrastructure development, disaster management services, and local economic development initiatives. Our clean audits are not an end in themselves, they are the foundation on which we are building a stronger, more efficient, and more responsive municipality.”
The municipality extends its appreciation to all stakeholders, including its communities, traditional leaders, labour structures, and sector departments whose partnership remains critical in driving accountable and people-centred governance.
