The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) said new whistle-blower "evidence" that emerged on Tuesday bolsters its "fraud‚ racketeering‚ corruption and abuse of power" case against the SABC. The activist group said it had laid charges against controversial executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng‚ members of the SABC board and executive managers in Brixton last Thursday. One of the matters "being procurement irregularities and a contract with Vision View Production CC‚ pertaining to the upgrading of two television studios"‚ Outa said in a statement. It was reported that an initial tender process for the refurbishment was allegedly nixed by Motsoeneng‚ and the tender worth more than R40m was awarded to Vision View.
