# Business Leadership South Africa says decisive intervention is needed to fix the financial crisis in municipalities. In her weekly newsletter, CEO Busisiwe Mavuso said the Auditor-General’s latest report shows metros are failing to manage their finances, with only Cape Town receiving a clean audit. Johannesburg and Tshwane have billions in unauthorised spending and poor infrastructure planning. According to Mavuso, poor management affects service delivery and economic growth, calling for skilled professionals and stronger oversight to fix the problem.
