5.13 The Council reported that an estimated amount of R28 million could not be confirmed in the section 71 report, and the funds were reported as missing. As a result, 10 officials were arrested from the Project Management Unit and Finance including two community members. Furthermore, it has been identified that there was an unusual financial practice of tampering with budget votes. As a result, officials were paid salaries out of the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG). In overturning this practice, the Council decided to reverse the MIG funds from the Council discretionary fund.
