Die Ouditeur-generaal het bevind dat Tlokwe-munisipaliteit in die boekjaar 2011-12, onder ANC-beheer, R143 miljoen onrelmatig bestee het. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)

[These are but a few examples. Political intolerance, corruption and infighting within the ANC deter service delivery. I thank you.]
