The DA is deeply concerned by Minister Senzo Mchunu's lack of accountability and transparency regarding audits conducted on authorised sewage and water treatment package plants. His failure to address the relevant financial legislation and legal obligations raises serious doubts about his commitment to serving the public. This is particularly alarming amid concerns over water quality following a recent cholera outbreak in Gauteng and Mpumalanga. In his response, the Minister claims that all municipal wastewater treatment plants were audited by his Department between 2009 and 2023, but he provides no specific details as to how often or percentages of correct audits, leaving the effectiveness of the process in question.
