OUTA - Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse

OUTA - Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse Fighting corruption, maladministration, and tax abuse. Racism and hate speech will not be condoned.

HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE

OUTA is a Civil Action Organisation, born in 2012 as an opposition to Gauteng’s e-Toll scheme. In early 2016, a name change to the “Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse”, allowed retention of the OUTA acronym, while clearly depicting the work and purpose of the organisation. While the e-Toll challenge has spanned some years, OUTA has grown stronger and developed into a qu

alified organisation with internal litigation capacity, researchers, investigators and other skilled staff. The growth facilitated a move beyond the e-Toll issue, as our team set out to challenge and expose inefficiencies, maladministration and corruption in other areas of state taxation policy-making and state managed expenditure. Government’s lack of transparency and public engagement when introducing significant state expenditure has resulted in growing maladministration and state revenue plunder on projects which cost society far more than necessary. This practice leads to significant loss of funds which could otherwise be utilised to provide essential services to society. OUTA’s role is to challenge the serious issues at play and to hold those responsible for poor governance and corruption to account. We aim to halt wasteful expenditure and irrational decisions which are not in the best interests of society.

🚨Attention City of Joburg residents

Despite reports that a deal had been reached between Eskom Hld SOC Ltd and City of Joburg, OUTA believes Eskom’s electricity interruption process remains active and no evidence has been provided that a settlement has been concluded.

This matters.

The deadline for public submissions is 17 June 2026. If you live, work or run a business in Johannesburg, now is the time to make your voice heard.

OUTA has instructed its attorneys to advise on the best legal remedies available to help ensure that residents and businesses do not become collateral damage in this dispute.

Darkened streets, threats to electricity supply, and growing uncertainty affect all of us. Paying residents and businesses should not carry the cost of governance failures.

South Africa is losing billions to corruption, tax abuse, and failed leadership.

OUTA has taken on e-Tolls, NSFAS corruption, SAA, Karpowership deals, driver's licence failures, and more. But holding power accountable takes resources.

Every donation helps fund investigations, legal action, and the fight against corruption.

Together, let's build a corruption-free South Africa.

How many students are paying the price for a broken accommodation system?

OUTA welcomes the Auditor-General’s decision to inspect NSFAS-funded student accommodation across South Africa, following calls for a national review of accreditation and oversight processes.

The audit could reveal whether taxpayer money has been paid to accommodation providers that fail to meet minimum standards.

Who says ordinary citizens can't change government policy?

After more than a decade of resistance, legal action and public pressure, Cabinet has finally decided to write off the outstanding GFIP e-toll debt.

OUTA has opposed e-tolls from day one because the scheme was fundamentally flawed. The decision is a victory for every motorist who stood their ground and for the power of collective action.

The lesson? When citizens refuse to accept bad policy, change is possible.

Why does OUTA still exist?

Because South Africans deserve a government that works for its people.

We exist to halt the abuse of power and mismanagement of public resources that weaken government's ability to serve the people. Guided by justice, accountability and citizen empowerment, we work to stop the decay, restore trust and drive meaningful change.

This week, we're sharing our Annual Report to show you exactly what we've been doing, how your support makes it possible, and why this work remains so important.

Together, we can continue holding power to account.

Why does OUTA exist?

Because abuse of power and the misuse of public resources cost South Africans every day 🇿🇦

We exist to stop the decay, restore trust and empower citizens to drive meaningful change. Every campaign, investigation and court case serves that purpose.

This is our why.

The Phala Phala impeachment committee is finally taking shape, with a chairperson now elected and the process beginning to move forward.

But this isn't really about one President Cyril Ramaphosa.

It's about whether South Africa's institutions can hold the most powerful people in the country accountable when it matters most.

Can Parliament pass the test?

You're paying more. Are you getting more?

Across South Africa, municipal tariffs keep rising while roads crumble, water systems fail and service delivery declines.

OUTA believes municipalities should not be allowed to pass the cost of corruption, inefficiency and poor governance on to residents.

With local government elections approaching, we're asking:
What should disqualify a person from serving as a councillor?
