Navigating the MFMA (en Inglés) - Cyril Paton

When an organ of state fails to pay a valid invoice within 30 days, it is not a civil inconvenience to be endured - it is the breach of a statutory duty, with a name, a section, and a sentenceattached.Navigating the MFMA reads reads South Africa's Municipal Finance Management Act the way it was written: as a chain that runs from an unpaid invoice to a criminal offence. Plain-spoken and built to be used, it is a field manual for three readers - the supplier who needs to get paid, the official who needs to stay out of jail, and the investigator who must build and prove the case.Grounded entirely in the public law and the public record, it turns a duty the country ignored into a remedy anyone can use.
