a) Mpumalanaga, North West and Western Cape provinces have developed PMIS in attempt to address the shortcomings within their asset management system. b) Provincial Departments do not have a consistent and accurate auditing system for both movable and immovable state properties. c) There is a critical backlog on the maintenance of state properties in the provincial departments. d) In most provinces the government properties are vacant, not properly maintained, have illegal occupants and are vandalised (i e in KwaZulu- Natal Jozini army base and government properties in Ulundi). e) The finalisation of land restitution in Limpopo and other provinces hinders the compilation and finalisation of the asset registers. f) Cognisant of the fact that land restitution is still an ongoing process the finalisation of the asset register is dependent on the completion of the process.
