A report by the South African Auditor-General has found that the South African government does not have the adequate IT systems it needs and this is proving an obstacle to service delivery.

According to the report, on National Audit Outcomes, of the 38 national departments audited, all had “findings” related to IT service continuity; 92% did not fully comply with user-access management controls; 81% did not have full security management systems in place; and 79% did not have a complete IT governance framework.

In addition, of the 77 public entities that were subject to the audit, 83% were lacking in IT service continuity, 95% in terms of user-access management, 92% did not have complete security management in place, while 75% fell short on IT governance.
