Lifestyle audits for Gauteng supply chain officials
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi said on Thursday that all provincial supply chain managers would be subjected to lifestyle audits in the future.
This is aimed at strengthening accountability and combating corruption in the provincial government.
Lesufi briefed the media in Johannesburg on key developments and decisions from the Executive Council meeting.
As of October 2024, the Gauteng government had 750 senior managers, 732 of whom were either already vetted or in the process of achieving a 98% compliance rate.
"I have received the final report of the lifestyle audits with outcomes for two heads of department. One HOD has successfully passed the audit, and the other one will be going for the final round of audit.
"Gauteng has now started the process to vet all SCM staff, anyone who is managing our contracts is going through their lifestyle audits as well, and their financial disclosures,
"It's a first in the province, but also a first across the country."
Lesufi said three new MECs in the coalition government have yet to conclude the lifestyle audits.
