MFMA Guidance
 
 

From 1 April 2022, municipalities must upload their data strings and relevant documents using the GoMuni Upload Portal at the following link:
 
https://lg.treasury.gov.za
 
The key benefits of the GoMuni portal is that:
•             Municipalities will have access to their own data;
•             Relevant stakeholders in the local government space such as provincial treasuries, STATSSA, the Reserve Bank, NERSA, CoGTA, AGSA and SARS will have access to municipal documentation submitted to the portal, eliminating the duplication of effort; and
•             The turn-around time to reflect data/documents submitted is same day
 
Munsoft reviews the LG Database continuously and any unsuccessful submissions will be communicated to your municipality with correctional procedures.

It remains the responsibility of the municipality to submit financial and non-financial documents to National Treasury on or before the due date, any delay in submitting documents to National Treasury can lead to non-compliance with Reporting Regulations.

For any queries or assistance please contact Munsoft Support at [email protected] or your respective Service Delivery Manager.
 
Kind Regards,
Munsoft
