Madam Deputy Speaker, I will mention things that we said we want to achieve. One of them is to ensure that provinces and municipalities receive a clean audit by 2014. As a provincial government, we are very happy to say that the Western Cape is our first achievement in ensuring that it is possible to receive a clean audit. Yes, your Western Cape has received a clean audit as a province.
However, there are still challenges in municipalities even in the Western Cape, and we are working on that. That is the first thing we are happy about. When we set the targets for clean audits we said that we wanted to launch the programme nationally and provincially in all provinces, which was successfully achieved.
At the same time, we wanted to create provincial co-ordinating committees that will continue to drive these processes, even when we are gone, so that they are owned by these provincial structures in which the Auditor-General, provincial treasuries, provincial co-operative governance and traditional affairs departments, the premiers' offices, the SA Local Government Association, Salga, and the Development Bank of Southern Africa are supposed to participate. The ambassadors of Operation Clean Audit, people who have achieved clean audits, must be able to share their own experiences in those structures so that we are able to ensure that best practices are emulated by other municipalities.
The other thing we want to achieve is to ensure that from now onwards we avoid the issue of municipalities which don't submit their financial statements to the Auditor-General three months after the financial year has ended. We believe that to a certain degree about 95% have been received from the municipalities. Thank you.
