OFFICIALS DECLARE “ABOVE BOARD” AS NEARLY ONE BILLION RANDS VANISHES INTO THIN AIR.
In a BRAZEN act of defiance, the Mpumalanga Department of Education has LAUGHED OFF explosive allegations of a R800 MILLION tablet procurement SCANDAL, insisting everything is “lawful” while children are left with USELESS tech. This is not an administrative error—this is SYSTEMATIC LOOTING of the public purse, and they are DARING you to care.
The department’s so-called “phased intervention” is a PHASE OF CORRUPTION, funneling hundreds of millions through a SINGLE connected firm, Bongani Rainmaker Limited (BRL). A damning City Press report exposes R200 million spent on FAULTY devices, with a further R600 million tender RIGGED from the start. This is a PREDETERMINED HEIST, executed in broad daylight.
Their defense? A word salad of “compliance,” “strategy,” and “warranties.” They claim devices are being “retrieved, formatted, and re-issued.” But this is a SMOKESCREEN for a vicious cycle of waste: buying, failing, and buying again with YOUR tax money. While they play musical chairs with defective tablets, an entire generation’s education is being AUCTIONED OFF to connected cronies.
The department had the AUDACITY to allocate R717 million this year alone for this failing scheme, a budget that should make every citizen VIOLENT with rage. This is not about e-learning; it is a MASTERCLASS in how to bankrupt hope and institutionalize theft. If THIS is what “improving learner outcomes” looks like, then the entire system is not just broken—it’s CRIMINALLY COMPLICIT. The question is no longer where the money went, but how deep the rot goes.
