Winde wants lifestyle audits for his Cabinet but private companies reluctant to tender
24 October 2019
Before becoming Western Cape premier in May, Alan Winde committed to conducting lifestyle audits on his cabinet if he was in charge.
Five months after his election, this is yet to happen.
The reason, Winde explained on Thursday, was that private companies are apparently deeply concerned about doing business with the government.
"Several of South Africa's big name audit firms have become embroiled in national controversies as a result of their working relationships with the national government over the past few years," he said.
