During 2009/10, the Internal Audit Services performed an audit of the Regional Initiative for Capacity Development (RICAD). During September 2009, the Department cancelled its contract with Brentlana for the management of the RICAD project as a result of Brentlana's alleged failure to perform. The Department also claimed a refund of all monies (amounting to R2.39 million) already paid to Brentlana under the contract. Brentlana disputed the cancellation of the contract and referred the matter to arbitration. The arbitration proceedings commenced, but has not been finalised and, therefore, a contingent liability cannot yet be determined.
