A prosperous country, free from the abuse of authority and governed with the efficient use of tax revenue.
About us
Born in 2012, OUTA is a Civil Action Organisation setup to challenge corruption and hold the guilty accountable. While initially challenging Gauteng’s e-Tolls, OUTA has grown and developed into an organisation equipped with in-house litigation, research, investigation, communication and administrative teams. Our crew of 40 are geared up to expose and challenge inefficiencies, maladministration and corruption within the state. OUTA’s role is to challenge the issues and hold those responsible for poor governance and corruption to account. Our aim is to halt wasteful expenditure and irrational decisions which are not in the best interests of society.

In this interview with BizNews our CEO, Wayne Duvenage describes how the findings of our investigation into the tender led to Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy’s decision to refer it to the Auditor-General for further investigation.

#CAN provided a comprehensive submission to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs on the #Coalition bill and invited other civil society organisations and the public to adopt this submission as their own. The Community Action Network, an initiative of OUTA, will monitor the passage of the bill when it goes through parliament, as this bill could fundamentally impact local government. https://lnkd.in/dAEQiPzP

OUTA warns that proposed changes to local government laws could weaken accountability and waste taxpayer money. The new bill allows irregular appointments of municipal managers to go unchecked for up to 90 days and increases costly political interference. https://lnkd.in/dQGdx_mG #localgovernment #municipalities
