The breakdown of the R13bn wasted by some of the country's municipalities is:
- Material losses of more than R5bn, among 65 municipalities.
- Unauthorised expenditure in 82 municipalities that, combined, exceeded R2.4bn.
- Fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R117.4 million by 92 municipalities.
- Irregular expenditure of R2.3bn.
- The underspending of budgets, with R1.5bn unspent.
- Unspent government grants that added up R1.6bn.
Material losses seems to mean the municipalities involved couldn't, on average, account for R 75 million worth of "things". Sounds like not being able to keep simple records.
