Ismael Vadi, the chairperson of parliament's communications portfolio committee called it a ''monumental failure'' of SABC management. He said he was ''shocked at the extent of the rot''.
The report of 72 pages contains the following:
*7 tenders awarded for R174 million, not correctly approved.
*The former group chief executive entered into a material agreement for R326 million with a consultant, although not allowed to.
*Massive problems in the process of buying international TV shows, even though a forensic audit in August 2007 showed massive irregularities and problems.
*Irregularities of R111,7 million relating to double payments, over payments, paying but not receiving goods/services.
*R11,3 million that was paid to a private travel company - in contravention of the SABC's travel policy. (The SABC has its own travel office to do this.)
