This information was provided in response to an oral question submitted to Premier Nomvula Mokonyane in the legislature by the party, DA member of the provincial legislature and housing spokesperson Janet Semple said.
Janet Semple said the DA had asked whether any municipality in the province was mentioned in an auditor general report on municipalities DA leader Helen Zille wanted made public before the recent local government elections.
Semple said they were told that "irregular expenditure" in
Tshwane metro municipality was R165 414 911
Kungweni local municipality R25 969 162
Ekurhuleni metro municipality R2 285 366
West Rand district municipality R3 106 515
Emfuleni municipality R21 250.
"This is a mammoth total of R196 797 204.00 of taxpayers's money that was spent on questionable tenders and contracts.
Reasons given by government for this wasteful expenditure are not clear," Semple said in a statement.
She later said, "The premier made no commitment to follow up on irregularities, but we will be pushing for it to be followed up."
Africa Boso, spokesperson for Auditor General Terence Nombembe, said the AG was finalising the report and it would be tabled in Parliament in mid June or the end of June.
Comment from the premier's office and further details of the tenders were not immediately available.
