TimesLIVE reports that a forensic inquiry by Deloitte has found no evidence that any payment was made by Bosasa to the SABC 8 campaign in 2016.
The inquiry came after an e-mail emerged in January in which a senior Bosasa official apparently instructed his colleagues to donate R100,000 to the crowdfunding effort to help the group of journalists. Following that, the group of former and current SABC journalists denied any involvement with the state capture-linked company. "We do not know who the donors were in the crowdfunding initiative, some identified themselves and some remained anonymous," the SABC 8 group said in a statement. The SA National Editors' Forum then requested Deloitte to perform a forensic review into the allegations. Sanef had supported the campaign. "Based on the information obtained and corroborated from a variety of sources and procedures, Deloitte found no evidence that any payment was made by Bosasa or entity or persons related to Bosasa to the SABC 8 campaign in 2016," Sanef said in a statement on Monday. Sanef chairperson Mahlatse Mahlase said she was satisfied that the Deloitte report put to rest the question as to whether Bosasa contributed to the SABC 8 crowdfunding campaign.
