Implementing Probity Audits to Combat Fraud in South African Municipalities

In this piece, we break down what probity audits are (in simple terms) and why they could be a game-changer for clean governance at the local level.
Curious how some city tenders get inflated from R20 million to R70 million? Or why only 15% of municipalities got clean audits last year? We delve into the trends, share real examples of corruption that was uncovered (and even prevented), and explain how probity audits help stop these issues before they start. It’s basically about having an independent watchdog in the procurement process to ensure everything is above board.
