The real cost of South Africa's most expensive website ($15m)

It turns out that the amount allocated to 'Development and Creation', 'Testing' and 'Implementation' was $191 436, a fairly small proportion of the total. $2.1 million alone was spent on 'Planning' and 'Design'.

It's difficult to find any legitimate costing in these estimates, especially as more complex and more important South African government sites have been created and deployed for as little as $27 670.
