| A probe has uncovered financial irregularities in the Department of Water Affairs involving more than R1-billion, including tender manipulation, and the unlawful awarding and extension of contracts. Pam Yako, the department's director-general, has been on suspension with full pay since July 2009 pending the outcome of the investigation. Auditor-General Terence Nombembe's report, tabled on Tuesday, details how an information technology services contract was illegally extended over a period of 49 months, increasing the original R180-million contract value by 587 percent to a total of R1.056bn. |
