MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The new chair of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC), a component of the municipal council, is a formidable woman, Councillor Nosiphiwo Bobelo (ANC). Councillor Stanford Mbandezi (ANC) was also elected to serve on the committee.
This follows the death of Councillor J Bruinders, who previously chaired the committee.
The oversight committee and the officials serving in the local government sphere have critical roles to play by exercising proper oversight of public funds and government programmes in a transparent and accountable manner.
The legislative and regulatory framework provides for different layers of oversight, and the audit processes contribute to giving the public confidence in the democratic system.
