Reply:
As per the response to question 232 on 25 February 2015, the SABC did commission a service provider to determine the accuracy of the above quoted amounts as a consequence of the AGSA qualifying the disclosure. The estimated costs for phase I is R4 million. The service provider is yet to finalise its work and the Department is unable to provide further information at this stage.
