The Okhahlamba Local Municipality was honoured last night at the Municipal Excellence Awards, hosted by the KZN Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, for achieving and sustaining a clean audit. We take great pride in announcing that for the 2022/2023 financial year, we have secured our ninth consecutive clean audit outcome from the Auditor General of South Africa. This marks our ninth clean audit within a ten-year period, a testament to our unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility. We are profoundly humbled by this achievement.
Despite facing significant challenges during the 2022/2023 financial year, our municipality has remained steadfast in maintaining a clean administration.
A crucial factor contributing to our consistency is the collective dedication of our staff, whom we proudly consider as family. Together, we operate with a shared vision to empower and improve the lives of those we serve. Additionally, we have diligently implemented National Treasury circulars to enforce cost-containment measures and adhere to sound financial management practices. Furthermore, we have successfully adapted to new political leadership, fostering a positive working relationship based on oversight and a shared commitment to progress.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the council, our dedicated staff, oversight committee members, government departments, stakeholders, and the Okhahlamba community for their unwavering support throughout the year. Our success reflects your ongoing commitment, and we are truly grateful for your continued support.
