Minister Godongwana says he expects Joburg to address all matters linked to its unfunded budget by month’s end

# Finance minister Enoch Godongwana says he expects the City of Johannesburg to address the credibility challenges identified in revenue and expenditure. The Auditor General reported last week that the metro had two-billion-rand of unauthorised expenditure due to the unfunded adjustments budget. In April, the minister threatened to cut government funding to Johannesburg unless it addresses wasteful spending and cancels plans to raise municipal wages. In a parliamentary reply, Godongwana says he expects all the concerns he has outlined to the council to be ironed out by the end of this month.
