The Sol Plaatje Local Municipality reported that it submits its section 71 (of MFMA) reports to National Treasury Database (called lgdatabase) by the tenth of each month. But problems are experienced whereby reports are uploaded onto the database and confirmation reports are received, but the system shows that reports are outstanding. The SPLM said the same reports submitted are forwarded to the Northern Cape's Provincial Treasury, MFMA Compliance Directorate and Frances Baard District Municipality.
