Programming note: 3rd Degree on the eNews Channel tonight looks at the financial crisis of the bankrupt Limpopo provincial government.

e.tv's and the eNews Channel (DStv 403) weekly investigative programme  3rd Degree tonight at 21:30 looks at the shocking financial crisis of the Limpopo provincial government which has been declared bankrupt and is more than R2 billion in the red - without having anything to show for that money and fiscal waste.

[Programming note: e.tv has UEFA Champions League, so 3rd Degree will only be shown at 21:30 on the eNews Channel and not e.tv.]

How did a province with an annual budget of R43 billion manage to empty its coffers five months before its financial year end?

Tonight 3rd Degree visited two towns in Limpopo where projects awarded to the politically well connected were done so badly that they left communities worse of than the were before and with millions of rands lost forever.
