Only five percent of municipalities obtained clean audit reports in the financial year 2011/2012, the auditor-general revealed on Monday.

However, Auditor-General Terence Nombembe said he was excited by the fact that six new municipalities had joined the clean audit category, taking the number to 13.

The municipalities with clean audits were in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and the Western Cape.

None of the municipalities in the Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Northern Cape and North West received clean audit reports.
