Yes, hon Deputy Speaker. I beg to differ from the Minister that this is a draft report, because I have in my hand an analysis conducted by the Chief Director of Legal Services of the Department of Communications, Adv Nkatha, who refers to this as a forensic report by Gobodo. He also goes into depth relating to what was found by the Gobodo forensic auditors. It must be stated that this is the story of a Mafia-like operation, which is utilising public funds to feather their own nests.
Mr Minister, we believe that you do not negotiate with Mafia-style people. You dismiss the board and you face the legal consequences. What is confined and stated in this summary report is hair-raising evidence of insider trading, public funds spent, 100% subsidy given to Cell-C, Mthinte Communications. We all remember the SABC finding on the ICT Indaba where Mthinte Communications benefited hugely - again, irregular payments. The appointment of the CEO is irregular. So, clearly you need to clean up the operation and let us start again. Thank you.
