SCANDALOUS WASTE EXPOSED: ‘Disturbing’ State Agency in ‘Shocking’ Financial Free-for-All

EXCLUSIVE: A SHOCKING parliamentary probe has exposed a taxpayer-funded BLACK HOLE where BILLIONS meant to connect the poor have VANISHED into a vortex of permanent “acting” executives and deliberate dysfunction. The Universal Service and Access Agency of South Africa (USAASA) isn’t just failing—it’s being SYSTEMATICALLY GUTTED from the inside.

For SIX YEARS, a parade of “interim” boards and “acting” CEOs have presided over what insiders describe as a LEGITIMIZED LOOTING SCHEME. While millions remain unspent and project timelines are “slippery,” South Africa’s most marginalized communities are left in a digital dark age. This isn’t incompetence; it’s a CALCULATED SABOTAGE of the nation’s future.

The damning evidence? Staff confess they haven’t received basic tools like laptops for A DECADE, forced to operate in a grotesque parody of a government entity while leadership collects salaries for a job they were NEVER formally appointed to do. This is a SCANDAL of epic proportions, a permanent “acting” farce designed to evade accountability while the money flow continues unabated.

Despite a scathing 2018 Public Protector report detailing abuse of power and malpractice, NOTHING has changed. Minister Solly Malatsi’s recent board appointments are mere window dressing for a corpse. The committee’s “concern” is a pathetic whisper against the ROAR of systemic theft. Every day this charade continues, a generation is condemned to poverty.

This is the grim truth of state capture 2.0: not with a bang, but with a whimper of endless “acting” positions and unspent funds. The question is no longer if they are stealing, but whether ANYONE in power actually wants it to stop.
