Deputy Speaker, as I have explained, the Auditor-General's findings were acted upon immediately. We were present when the Auditor-General announced the current audit findings. We tabled the Auditor-General's report in the very first Minmec meeting that took place after they were tabled. The Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, nationally, together with all of the MECs, held very extensive discussions on how we were going to take forward those recommendations.
By the time that the following Minmec meeting took place six weeks ago, the MECs for local government in most of the provinces had convened meetings of all of their municipalities to address this issue with them. In a number of those municipalities, action has already been taken against municipal managers who have presided over consistent disclaimers. I think a number of them have been dismissed, so action is being taken.
In addition to that, the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, working together with National Treasury, has put in place a number of programmes to support municipalities in improving their capacity to work towards unqualified audits. So, it is something that we take extremely seriously and which we are working together with our provincial counterparts to address. Thank you very much.
Deputy Speaker, sorry, on the question of lifestyle audits, I think it is quite well known that Sars is already embarking on that process. I do not think there is a necessity for an additional call. I think they are doing quite well at the moment.
