The Limpopo Department of Public Works (LDPW) had to address poor management of property portfolio; spiralling unauthorised expenditure; inadequate capacity in the Public Financial Management and technical capacity; the fact that client departments have ignored LDPW mandate as they built their own PMUs; the districts were largely ignored as service delivery nodes; the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure of the LDPW had virtually collapsed due to poor maintenance, poor IT infrastructure planning and under budgeting.
