Hawks Arrest 20 in R114 MILLION Education Corruption Scandal😵😟

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) have arrested 20 individuals as part of a nationwide operation targeting fraud and corruption in the Department of Education, the head of the Hawks in Mpumalanga, Major General Nico Gerber said. Speaking during a media briefing on Sunday, Gerber explained that the arrests were part of a broader investigation that began in 2020 following reports of irregularities during the 2019/2020 financial year. “We had an organised arrest across South Africa. We had arrests in Cape Town, Gauteng, Limpopo and the majority of the arrests obviously here in the Mpumalanga area,” he said. The investigation centres on officials who allegedly manipulated emergency repairs and maintenance contracts for 21 schools. Gerber said only a small portion of the repairs was actually completed, while pricing and tenders were highly inflated and service providers were handpicked, bypassing proper supply chain processes. “Now, these contractors then worked with these officials. ##hawks south africa, directorate for priority crime investigation, education corruption sa, school tender fraud, mpumalanga news, south africa breaking news, fraud and corruption sa, government corruption south africa, department of education scandal, mzansi news, crime news south africa, tender corruption sa, current affairs south africa, hawks arrests, mpumalanga corruption case
