'Absolutely no excuse': AG blasts major SOEs as just one gets clean audit

Only one of South Africa's 19 major state-owned enterprises received a clean audit in the past year, Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke has said.

Maluleke on Wednesday tabled the audit outcomes for national and provincial government for the year to end March 2023. 

She said that while there was a trend of improvement for smaller parastatals and some government departments, SA's key state-owned enterprises (SOEs) again underperformed.
