Gauteng MEC for cooperative governance traditional affairs Cogta Jacob Mamabolo says officials at the province's municipalities are now being trained to address issues before they get out of hand to help them root out maladministration.
He was speaking on Thursday during the second leg of the joint parliamentary committee oversight where municipalities such as those in Johannesburg and Tshwane were set to make presentations to MPs on maladministration and governance issues in their metros.
The Gauteng leg of the oversight visit comprises the Portfolio Committee on Cogta, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts and the Standing Committee on the Auditor-General to address the challenges of underperforming municipalities.
