About Municipal Money, South Africa

Municipal Money is a public website run by South Africa's National Treasury. It shares municipal financial data that municipalities have submitted, so that citizens can see how public money is spent. Users can find a municipality by typing its name or selecting it on a map. Each indicator shows its most recent value, a description, a key, a link explaining how the value is calculated, and a chart of recent years. The site states that its figures were updated with 2026 Q2 data and that the data is still being verified for completeness and integrity.

The site describes itself as free, impartial and politically neutral. Its stated aim is to help citizens understand where public money is spent and whether this is within acceptable norms, not to comment on spending decisions. The National Treasury does not handle account-related queries. Those must be directed to the relevant municipality.
