Findings After deliberations with the Maletswai Local Municipality, the Committee observed the following: . The Maletswai Local Municipality does not have a Budget and Treasury Office and therefore it is in violating of Section 10 of the Municipal Management Act No. 56 of 2003. . The MLM is not GRAP compliant hence they received a disclaimer audit opinion of the Auditor General. . The figures presented by the MLM were not reliable since they did not tally with those in possession of National Treasury. . There are regular sewer spillages into the Orange River due to ageing infrastructure. . Even though the MLM claim to have eradicated the bucket system in 2007, people of Jamestown are still using the bucket system as a sanitary relief. . There is a huge housing backlog and basic services that should be provided to the indigents.
