THE GOVERNMENT’S SHAMEFUL SECRET: While officials CELEBRATE a record 88% matric pass rate, a SHOCKING 16,000 public schools are being LEFT IN THE DIGITAL DARK AGES. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a DELIBERATE SYSTEMIC FAILURE condemning millions of children to a future of poverty.

CEO Vuyani Jarana BLASTS the state, revealing that “poor connectivity, not poor ability” is CRIPPLING South Africa’s youth. The so-called “record” results are a CRUEL ILLUSION, masking a brutal reality where entire generations in townships and rural areas are being SACRIFICED. Jarana warns the nation is “losing generations of potential” because leaders REFUSE to treat internet access as a basic human right.

Despite the Department of Basic Education admitting the multi-billion-rand school connectivity project is “NOT ANYWHERE NEAR” completion, they continue to pour money into a broken system. Over R7 billion spent, yet astronomical costs and “massive infrastructure gaps” PERSIST. Where is the money REALLY going?

This is more than a policy failure; it is a CALCULATED BETRAYAL. Connectivity is the new electricity, the new water—and the state is deliberately CUTTING OFF the lifeline for the poor. The future economy is being built RIGHT NOW, and a government that leaves 16,000 schools offline is engineering a permanent underclass.

Ask yourself: Is this mere neglect, or a conscious strategy to keep the masses uneducated, disconnected, and EASILY CONTROLLED?
