Kwazi Mthethwa, spokesperson for education MEC Kwazi Mshengu, confirmed that the PPE had been recovered on Thursday and that someone would be held accountable.Mthethwa said the department would release more details once it had established all the facts.

“We want accountability. We will send a strong message because no-one can make things disappear and then reappear at their own will while playing with state resources — so people must account,” said Mthethwa. The PPE had been destined for schools in the Zululand, Umlazi and Pinetown districts before going missing, the department reported on Tuesday.

Mshengu at the time said the replacement of the PPE would cost the department millions of rand, money the department did not have.

Thank you Social Media. They saw the immediate and sharp criticism this brazen act of corruption drew. I suspect one of the thieves was threatening to confess. Either way, society thwarted graft.

Somebody trying his luck there

Amazing....that department is corrupt to the core.

It was the Big guys. They wanted to reallocate the tender. The only issue is that it became a national headline.

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic! Faith in humanity restored. Somebody decided to do the right thing.

Oops it was on Mshengu's yard
