GAUTENG · MUNICIPAL INTELLIGENCE
How well is your municipality run?
Nine municipalities serve Gauteng's people — collecting rates, spending budgets, and delivering water, electricity and sanitation. This is a plain-language view of how each one manages public money and basic services, drawn directly from official government data: National Treasury, the Auditor-General, and Statistics South Africa.
These are point-in-time figures — the latest published from each source, not a live feed. Financial and audit data reflect the 2024 financial year; service data the 2023 census.
The problem
Municipal performance data exists, but it's scattered across Treasury systems, audit reports and statistics releases — and written for specialists, not residents.
The approach
We draw the data directly from official government sources and present each metric with a plain-language explanation of what it means for you.
What's here
Four things worth knowing about each municipality: how well it manages money, whether its books can be trusted, whether it used the money meant for building, and whether people are actually getting water, power and sanitation.
