Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa will not get rid of corruption until it gets rid of cadre deployment, which has resulted in a lack of skills within government entities and a lack of capacity to track financial flows.<\/p>\n

This is feedback from Econometrix chief economist Dr Azar Jammine, who told Newzroom Afrika that government departments do not have the capacity to produce financial reports.<\/p>\n

While the government has made progress with more municipalities and entities producing financial reports, 65% of state entities still do not have a clean audit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Auditor-General is rightly very concerned about late submissions, particularly from large state-owned enterprises, which is very disturbing,\u201d Jammine said.<\/p>\n

Jammine explained that many government entities fail to produce financial reports and performance reports because they rely on hiring external consultants to put them together.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that they employ people specifically for that purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherein lies the problem,\u201d Jammine said. \u201cUntil we get rid of cadre deployment, I do not think we will ever get rid of this problem in its entirety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Auditor-General estimated that R22 billion will be lost to irregular and wasteful expenditure during the term ending next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis speaks to a lack of planning and a lack of skills within these entities to actually abide by the rules,\u201d Jammine said.<\/p>\n

He said this is a significant weakness in South Africa, costing the country\u2019s economy dearly as services are often not delivered, late or over budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis arises from the fact that many people were put into positions of authority who were not properly trained and did not have the competence to occupy these positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, many competent people were retrenched to make space for less competent individuals because of their loyalty towards the ruling party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is one of the huge fault lines that we have within governance in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, it is also a process that has unravelled and is difficult to arrest given that it has almost got a momentum of its own now, with people relying on it to get what they want,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, there is a glimmer of hope as the Auditor-General noted an improvement in the number of municipalities producing financial reports and clean audits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese improvements may indicate that we are starting to penetrate the vicious cycle of decline that we have been seeing,\u201d Jammine said.<\/p>\n
