Overview and Management Information
Contact details, overviews and particulars of office bearers are updated primarily via an annual survey that we conduct with all departments and public entities. The latest survey took place from June to August 2018 and the information should be considered up to date during this period.
While we go to great effort to gather complete and accurate information, some departments and public entities are more responsive than others. Where possible, we cross-reference against their website and annual reports, as well as news reports and other credible sources.
Public Entities / State-Owned Entities
The list of public entities on the website is not necessarily complete. The 2013 report of the Presidential Review Committee on State-Owned Entities noted that, after a two-year macro-review of all public entities in South Africa, the Committee was unable to produce an exhaustive list of public entities, especially at the provincial and municipal level. We endeavour to include all that are relevant, focusing on those that are clearly operational, with available documentation and audit results.
Audit Outcomes
The information regarding audit outcomes is sourced from the Consolidated general report on national and provincial audit outcomes, PFMA, published annually by the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA). The full reports are available from AGSA’s offices or at www.agsa.co.za.
The terminology used is described by AGSA as follows:
Financial Information
Financial Information is sourced from the annual reports of the departments and entities. Links to the full annual reports are provided.
In cases where a link to an annual report is not provided in the table, figures have been taken from the latest available EPRE Standardised Tables,published by National Treasury as part of its annual provincial budget process.
When referencing the financial information:
- All financial values are indicated in the thousands, indicated by ‘R’000’.
- Zero values are displayed as ’–‘.
- Values displayed as ’n/a’ indicate the value was not available to us, or is not applicable.
In some instances the annual reports do not match the standardised format we use to display information. In these cases we have either adapted the information to our model or we have left the values as ’n/a’. It is recommended that you refer to the original annual reports where required.
Unauthorised, Irregular, Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure
Unauthorised, Irregular, Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure is supplied by the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA). If the figures are unavailable in this report, they may be sourced from the entity’s Annual Report.
The terminology is described by AGSA as follows:
Unauthorised Expenditure: Expenditure that was in excess of the amount budgeted or allocated by government to the auditee, or that was not incurred in accordance with the purpose for which it was intended.
Irregular Expenditure: Expenditure incurred without complying with applicable legislation.
Fruitless and wasteful expenditure: Expenditure that was made in vain and could have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. This includes penalties and interest on late payments, as well as payments for services not utilised or goods not received.
Photographs of Office Bearers
Photographs of office bearers have either been supplied to us by the department or public entity concerned, or sourced from their official websites or annual reports.
