The ANC in Gauteng is awaiting a report on allegations of irregularities at the DA-run Midvaal municipality with "high expectations", a spokesman said on Tuesday.

"The release of the report hopefully will vindicate the residents of Midvaal that the [Democratic Alliance] administration is incapable and permeated with corruption," said the ANC's Dumisa Ntuli.

Residents of Midvaal lodged complaints and raised serious allegations of corrupt practices in the municipality in 2009, he said.

Public protector Thuli Madonsela is expected to release a report on her probe into the matter in Pretoria at 2pm on Tuesday. On Monday, her office said the investigation came after a complaint about the appointment of a legal service provider without proper procurement procedures.

Midvaal is the only municipality held by the DA in Gauteng.
