Bags of cement, floor tiles, bricks and other building materials are strewn around the grounds of Jubilee Park Primary School in Gerald Smith township in Uitenhage. Children balance on the piles of tiles and sit on the bricks stacked under black plastic sheeting. Weeds are growing along the walls.
The school in ward 48, which is dominated by a sea of shacks, accommodates 1,200 pupils from grade R to grade 7. In 2013, part of the school was burnt down. The Eastern Cape department of education appointed the Eastern Cape department of public works as its implementing agent to rebuild the school.
Easy answer R77 million minus R10 million for the contractor the other R67 million is to pay back hands and all those who deserve their cut of the loot. Not forgetting the BEE contractor only does R1 million worth of work and steals the R9 million. It's the African way.
The best of BEE
South Africans aren't angry enough to demand change, until citizens take it upon themselves to demand change by removing corrupt government officials and not waiting for political parties for solutions.Any suspicious individuals with checked past isn't worth serving in government
But the article clearly states that A R77m project to rebuild a Uitenhage school has been stalled since 2018, apparently because the Eastern Cape department of education is not paying the bills. So its the departments fault and not the contractor mos.
We really on our own big time here
🤣
Where is Panyaza Hendrik Lesufi? Chasing political agendas What about the children
ANC buddies again
Is this quote with pit toilets and running water but without fittings and fixtures ?
Wait until the coffers are empty and the social grants cannot be disbursed, all of them would escaped to other functioning western countries
Polly12346 Nothing surprising!! As with hundreds of other projects, the ANC acolytes took the money & ran. State capture deeper than what we think. Will SA ever be rid of it, doubt it.
ShashikaNaidoo Who has been charged?

Lol typical
An ANC cadre got the tender, but the lure of Porsche, Range Rover, Lamborghini, Camps Bay apartment was too strong.
MYANC
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep voting for it.
There are clowns who are hounding Pravin to account and yet some ministries are doing as they please. Selective accountability.
c_kumalo Lesufi
ASK YOURSELF WHO WAS HANDED THE RMILLIONS? The taxpayers are stolen into debt whilst greedy politicians enjoy their lavish lifestyles, homes, holidays and kids educated in the best PrivateWhiteOwnedSchools And 12million dont hve homes jobs let alone food😢

You get the government you vote for so suck it up and enjoy.
Department of Education and Department of Health are the worst culprits when it comes to non paying or delaying paying service providers invoices.
We are going in circles, no accountability none wat so f”’$k. We drank it and took our side chicks out. Left some for bail and court cases and to dampening the noisy ones...don’t like your tone Sowetan. On behalf of the tender team

Parktown principal suspended, teachers to be charged - Panyaza LesufiGauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has suspended Parktown Boys' High School principal Malcolm Williams following the death of grade 8 pupil Enoch Mpianzi while on a school camp. Lesufi is playing to the gallery and is opening the department up for litigation. I hope the head master sues this arshole lesufi as they are now selectively suspending a headmaster because he is white. What about the headmaster of the kid that drowned in the swimming pool or the headmaster of the school where a truck that reversed in a school build killing 2 We accept the decision taken MEC and we hope justice will prevail on behalf of the family and that such incidents never happen to anyone's child.
