South Africa.- The North West Gambling Board<\/strong> has approved its Annual Performance Report and Annual Financial Statements (AFS) for the 2025\/26 financial year ahead of submission to the Auditor-General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ratification took place during the Board\u2019s first official meeting in Klerksdorp, where members, together with acting chief executive officer Mr Boitumelo Qalinge<\/strong> and executive management, also considered key governance and financial performance matters for the period under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions focused on operations for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, including compliance requirements, financial accountability, and service delivery within the province\u2019s gambling sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board chairperson Professor George Nzimeni Malebe<\/strong> welcomed the outcome, noting that the completion of the reports reflects the organisation\u2019s continued commitment to transparency, sound financial management, and legislative compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He commended the collective effort of Board members and management in ensuring the timely completion of the Annual Report and AFS in line with public sector financial management standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents will be formally submitted to the Auditor-General during a Provincial Treasury handover function at Mmabatho Palms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process forms part of the North West Provincial Government\u2019s broader efforts to strengthen financial oversight and promote good governance across departments and public entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once submitted, the financial statements will be assessed by the Auditor-General as part of the province\u2019s wider public sector audit process, with outcomes to be released at a later stage.<\/p>\n\n\n
