No Bosasa donation to SABC 8 fund, finds Deloitte
4 March 2019
On Friday 1 March 2019 the South African National Editors' Forum (SANEF) received the final forensic report of a review performed by Deloitte into allegations that Bosasa paid R100 000 to a crowdfunding campaign for the SABC8 journalists.
SANEF requested Deloitte to perform a forensic review after the publication of such allegations in TimesLive on 22 January 2019 that corruption-accused Bosasa made a donation to the cause, which SANEF supported.
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 SABC8 campaign in 2016.
This confirms SANEF's initial response that Bosasa did not donate to the cause.
