Security at KZN matric exam centres beefed up amid disruption threats | IOL News

Durban - KwaZulu-Natal Education MEC Kwazi Mshengu and the provincial legislature have assured the public that security was beefed up following allegations that alleged tenderpreneurs were threatening to disrupt the matric exams, which started in earnest on Wednesday.

The group reportedly threatened to disrupt exams as they were not given a tender to transport exam papers across the province. It was believed that the threats, which were posted on social media, came from the Delangokubona Business Forum. However, the controversial forum, which is notorious for using underhand tactics to get government tenders, has since distanced itself from the threats.

Talking to Talking Point host Bongi Gwala on SAFM on Wednesday morning, Mshengu said head of department Dr Vusumuzi Nzama and other senior managers received an email last week which was purportedly signed by Ama Delangokubona. “That email was demanding a meeting with the department so that the department can explain the contract of transporting exam papers to school as they believe that they should have been given a particular percentage in that contract,” said told the radio listeners.

They can clearly call themselves the Boko Haram of KZN. If dumb and stupid was a twin😱
