The Democratic Alliance (DA) congratulates the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Legislature on achieving its fifth consecutive Clean Audit Award, presented yesterday by the Auditor-General of South Africa, Ms Tsakani Maluleke.
The award was received by the KZN Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Accounting Officer and other senior officials. This remarkable achievement reflects sound governance, accountability, and financial integrity. Securing a clean audit for five consecutive years is a testament to the institution’s commitment to these principles.
As a proud partner within KZN’s Government of Provincial Unity (GPU), the DA remains resolute in its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the Legislature. Upholding accountability and transparency are essential for democracy to thrive within the rule of law.
Accountability must never be the exception. It must be the norm. The Legislature, empowered by the Constitution, legislation, and its own rules, must continue to serve as the bastion of good governance, placing the citizens of our province first. Here, principles must always trump politics, and public service must remain our foremost duty.
