The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has attained a clean audit opinion for the 2024/25 financial year.
Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela welcomed the outcome as a reflection of her department’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and prudent financial management.
According to a statement released by the department this week, the outcome marked the first clean audit it had ever received.
“This is a historic moment for us as a Department. It hasn’t been an easy journey and credit must go to the collective efforts of management, officials and stakeholders,” said Diale-Tlabela.
She said while the department celebrated this as a milestone, the focus now shifted to sustaining good governance.
“Clean audits must become the new normal, not a once-off event.”
She added that the achievement was not just about numbers, but about accountability, integrity, and serving the people of Gauteng with honesty.
“This achievement proves that clean governance and strong financial management translate into better service delivery. We are not just managing and building roads and transport networks, we are enhancing public trust.
“This clean audit belongs to the people of Gauteng and demonstrates that every rand is accounted for, managed responsibly and used for intended purpose.”
In recent years the department has strengthened governance systems, tightened internal controls and prioritised consequence management.
“This clean audit demonstrates that those efforts are yielding results and the Department is firmly on course to deliver on its mandate – a modern, reliable, and safe transport system for the people of Gauteng,” said Diale-Tlabela.
