The office of the premier of Gauteng has incurred R590,000 in fruitless and wasteful expenditure and R455.6m in irregular expenditure despite maintaining a clean audit for the 2024/25 financial year.
This was revealed by Tlou Chokoe, chairperson of the portfolio committee on social development, at the Gauteng legislature on Tuesday.
He said the fruitless expenditure stems from an overpayment in June last year, while the irregular expenditure dates back three to four years, and that the process of recovering the money has been initiated.
