ActionSA is outraged by explosive allegations of systemic corruption within the Department of Education, where desperate job seekers are allegedly coerced into paying bribes ranging from R2,500 to R10,000 for employment opportunities that should be allocated fairly, transparently, and on merit.
A whistleblower report currently in our possession lifts the lid on what appears to be an entrenched syndicate of corruption involving departmental insiders, political networks, and intermediaries, operating either without consequence or under the wilful blind eye of leadership.
More alarmingly, the report suggests that candidates are allegedly parachuted in from as far as the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, and Northwest while local graduates, armed with degrees, diplomas, and genuine aspirations to serve, remain stranded outside the gates of opportunity. Maserati’s, BMWs, and other luxury vehicles, bearing out-of-province number plates, have reportedly become regular features to the individual facilitating the sales.
Meanwhile, the humble Toyota Yaris, driven by many hardworking and qualified Northern Cape graduates, seems to struggle to meet the department’s unspoken “preferred candidate criteria.”
This isn’t just corruption; it is economic sabotage. It is a mockery of the principles of fairness and democracy. ActionSA calls on the MEC for Education, Mr. Abraham Vosloo, to take immediate and decisive action. A public office is not a private dealership, and the silence from his office to date is as deafening as it is unacceptable.
The people of the Northern Cape cannot continue to be sold out in their own province. Every job that is bought by a bribe is a future stolen from someone who earned it.
ActionSA will not rest until public institutions serve the public, not political patrons and tenderpreneur networks. We are drawing a line in the sand, and we dare MEC Vosloo to stand on the right side of history.
