Equitable Share (unconditional)
ESG is not a conditional grant — it can be spent at the muni's discretion. Shown for scale only.
Cross-referenced against the Restricted Suppliers List on the award date.
No award notices on file for this municipality yet. Coverage expands as the operator transcribes from eTenders.gov.za.
Once awards are loaded, this panel surfaces every published contract awarded by the muni, with B-BBEE level, supplier registration, and a flag for any awards made to suppliers on the National Restricted Suppliers List.
The line traces the audit opinion (higher = cleaner); bars are irregular/fruitless/unauthorised expenditure, dots are documented incidents, and dashed markers are Section 139 interventions. Sustained decline rarely happens in a single bad year.

Methodology & sources
Live data from National Treasury cubes (incexp_v2, capital_v2, audit_opinions, uifwexp, aged_debtor_v2, aged_creditor_v2, cflow_v2, financial_position_v2, repmaint_v2, officials) and operator-curated AGSA Section 4(3) Material Irregularities, Stats SA Census, Cogta Section 139 intervention records, DWS Blue / Green / No Drop water-services audits, IEC Local Government Election results + political control history, and Treasury conditional grants (grants_v2) — allocation versus actual spend per grant. The Accountability Index methodology is a draft pending sensitivity testing — treat the score as a working signal, not a final verdict. It currently weighs three of four intended signals — audit opinion (50%), capital-budget execution (25%) and linked corruption incidents (25%); a fourth pillar, service delivery (Stats SA non-financial census), is not yet wired in. Where a signal is missing for a municipality, its weight is renormalised across the rest.
