dc.description.abstractThe Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, section 154(1) states that the national government and provincial governments, by legislative and other measures, must support and strengthen the capacity of municipalities to manage their own affairs, to exercise their powers and to perform their functions. The study sought to identify the monitoring and support rendered to Nkonkobe local municipality by the province in achieving clean audit; and assessing the impact of the provincial monitoring and support to Nkonkobe local municipality in achieving clean audit. In addition to this the study sought to come up with recommendations on how to address the challenges and problems experienced in the rendering of provincial monitoring and support to Nkonkobe local municipality. The study used both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Twenty (20) respondents comprised of Nkonkobe local municipal officials, Eastern Cape Provincial government officials and South African Local Government Association's officials were given questionnaires to complete. Furthermore face-to-face interviews and document analysis were also used as data collection methods. The study findings suggest that the monitoring and support provided to Nkonkobe local municipality by the province is insufficient in achieving clean audit, as it faces capacity and budgetary constraints, and above all, is not well coordinated between the Provincial Treasury and Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs.
