This paper presents the proposed IT Control objectives for implementing the Public Finance Management Act of 1999 (PFMA) for the Republic of South Africa. T he aspects covered in this paper show the main concerns of accounting officers in implementing the PFMA. The ability of IT Control Objectives for Information and related T echnology (COBIT) to enable the participation of IT in the design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting for the PFMA is a major finding presented in this paper. However, this area of research is new and further studies to inform the responsibility of IT in facilitating the implementation of the PFMA need to be undertaken. This paper is a maiden effort in that direction.

Every human being in this world produces waste. South Africa is a developing country with many townships that have limited waste resources. Over-increasing population growth overpowers the volume of most municipal authorities to provide even the most essential services. Waste in townships is produced via littering, dumping of bins, cutting of trees, dumping of waste near rivers, and overrunning of waste bins. Waste increases diseases, air pollution, and environmental pollution, and lastly increases gas emissions that contribute to the release of greenhouse gases. The ungathered waste is dumped widely in the streets and drains contributing to flooding, breeding of insects, rodent vectors, and spreading of diseases. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to design a smart waste management system for the city of Johannesburg. The city of Johannesburg contains waste municipality workers and has provided some areas with waste resources such as waste bins and trucks for collecting waste. But the problem is that the resources only are not enough to solve the problem of waste in the city. The waste municipality uses traditional ways of collecting waste such as going to each street and picking up waste bins. The traditional way has worked for years but as the population is increasing more waste is produced which causes various problems for the waste municipalities and the public at large. The proposed system consists of sensors, user applications, and a real-time monitoring system. This paper adopts the experimental methodology.
