# Auditor-General, Tsakani Maluleke, has condemned deteriorating financial health, collapsing service delivery, degrading infrastructure, and very poor consequence management in Gauteng municipalities. Out of the province’s eleven municipalities, only Midvaal and West Rand received clean audits. Johannesburg’s standalone audit regressed from an unqualified audit opinion to a qualified audit opinion in the 2024/2025 financial year, after the metro failed to correct material errors identified during the audit process. Maluleke says Johannesburg requires urgent intervention from both oversight structures and the executive.
