The party's Corruption-free Cities report outlines a number of steps to be taken if it wins Tshwane.

CAPE TOWN - The Democratic Alliance (DA) has launched a plan to stop what is calls rampant corruption at local government level.

The party's Corruption-free Cities report, introduced in Tshwane earlier today, outlines a number of steps the organisation would take should it be elected.

It cited the 2016 Auditor General's Municipal Performance Report which shows that nearly R11 billion was lost due to unauthorised, wasteful and irregular expenditure in the Johannesburg, Nelson Mandela Bay, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane metros.

The DA's mayoral candidate for Tshwane Solly Msimanga says this is concerning.

"We want to ensure that the tender processes are opened for public scrutiny, which is something the African National Congress-run government has always said they were going to do but didn't. So we are saying: open tender processes."

He adds that officials are currently not being held to account.

"All your officials should actually sign a performance agreement so that should things like wasteful expenditure occur, people can be held personally accountable for whatever it is that is happening."
