Press releases

The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA) has welcomed its 10th consecutive Clean Audit Outcome by the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA) as an achievement which signals a proud moment for the Agency and its commitment to clean administration. 

The Agency’s journey of running a clean administration started when it  attained a clean audit outcome  for the first time in the financial year 2015/2016 and has remained consistent until attaining the latest one in the Financial Year 2024/2025, which is the 10th one in 10 consecutive years. 

When awarding the clean audit outcome, the  AGSA stated the following critical elements in relation to the Agency’s administration and governance; 

  • The public entity’s overall audit outcome has been maintained in the current period. This is a testimony to the work that management has incorporated in the preparation of their financial statements and performance reports.

 

  • The control environment has also remained stable in the current year. Where improvements in this environment can be attained, these have been mentioned in the body of the report above. We therefore encourage management to action the recommendations to maintain the overall good control environment status.

To this effect, the Auditor-General South Africa issued an audit opinion which read as follows; “the overall audit outcome of the public entity is unqualified with no findings. In the parlance of the Auditor-General South Africa, this constitutes a clean audit outcome. This is in line with the previous year’s audit outcome.” 

The CEO of the C-BRTA, Mr. Lwazi Mboyi  said the Agency is proud of  this achievement and that it was a collective effort. “As we continue to celebrate our organisation’s achievement of another  clean-audit outcome, which is the 10th one in a row,  please allow me to extend a word of gratitude to our Shareholder, the Department of Transport, under the leadership of our Minister, Ms. Barbara Creecy, the Deputy Minister, Mr. Mkhuleko Hlengwa, the Portfolio Committee on Transport and  the Board Members for their strategic leadership and guidance. It would be remiss of me not to mention the unwavering dedication of the Management and employees of the Agency. This achievement would not have been possible without their contribution,” said Mboyi. 

The Agency would also like to congratulate the Department of Transport, under the leadership of the Minister, Ms. Barbara Creecy and the Deputy Minister, Mr. Mkhuleko Hlengwa for attaining its first clean audit outcome in 31 years. The Agency looks forward to the Department’s continued strategic leadership and guidance.

“As we embark on the  journey of maintaining the standard of achieving  clean audit outcomes in the upcoming years, we will always work hand-in-hand with the Department and draw guidance from the Minister and Deputy Minister,” said Mboyi.
