Out of tune SABC slammed for incurring R5.2bn in irregular expenditure.
Makwetu said effective and appropriate steps were not taken to prevent irregular expenditure, as required by the Public Finance Management Act. He said the full extent of the irregular expenditure could not be quantified.
Also, effective and appropriate steps were not taken to collect all TV licence revenue due, as required by the act. TV licence fees reported for the year amounted to R968m. This represents a “fee evasion rate of 69% [compared to 72% in 2018] of the known TV licence holders not paying their licence fees”, the public broadcaster said in the report.
