Limpopo DoE disturbed by leaks to media

The Limpopo Department of Education disturbed by ‘leaked' reports to the media

9 Jul 2012

The Limpopo Department of Education is once again appalled by several articles in the weekend and weekly newspapers quoting ‘leaked' reports from credible Investigating Agencies i.e. Gobodo Forensic, Deloitte & Touche and Special Investigating Unit (see report).

The department holds these agencies in high esteem and that these agencies would not compromise their integrity in the society by ‘leaking' confidential reports to the media. We believe that, if it is true that these reports have been leaked from their side, they will take drastic steps against individuals who continue to tarnish their credibility.

We appreciate the conduct of these agencies in the other four departments under administration, where they are doing work and their reports are not leaked to the media.

As the department, we would like to put it on record that, we have not received any official reports from either one of the agencies which are doing work in the department. The department commits itself that at the point when they receive the official reports, it will act according to their recommendations without failure.

Working together we can do more in providing quality education.

Statement issued by Pat Kgomo, Limpopo Education, July 9 2012

As S1(d) of the Constitution says South Africa is one sovereign democratic state founded on the value of transparency can you not see that it is a nonsense to speak of 'leaks'? The public have the right to see that information out there in the public domain! It belongs to us! by Brett on July 16 2012, 08:39 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

"Dept says it hopes that drastic action will be taken against individuals responsible " One would hope that the drastic action would be taken against the nincompoops responsible for the tragedy, rather than those who report on it. This is the disease which is killing our country. "Deployment" of utterly useless cadres, and the complete lack . .more of accountability of these pillars of society, send the message to all....the ANC looks after ANY fool who allies with them. Stupid = Good. Useless = Good. Criminal = Good. . .less by Essdee on July 16 2012, 11:29 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Limpopo school books fiasco - Pt.1 If the Limpopo education department had cared one little bit about school pupils and the necessity for text books, this situation would never have arisen. That the provincial education authorities remain so insufferably arrogant about their . .more disgraceful lack of care shows that the culture in the ANC really has grossly deteriorated. All these people succeed in achieving, and very successfully, too, is that the ANC would be better if it was no longer running South Africa. One way to achieve their remaining in power is, of course, to make sure that the masses of blacks only get very poor education, because the far better educated blacks who would otherwise support the ANC without any questions being asked are gradually changing their minds and allegiance about it. The Limpopo education dept can blustfully and pompously declare their being "appalled" at apparent continued leaks of information - surely there doesn't still remain a lot which we haven't yet heard about the school book saga and how awfully their education system has been run? - as much as they like, but have they appreciated in any way what they have got to do to in order recover any sense of credibility? Of course, the national dept of education doesn't come out of this saga with untarnished credibility, either. . .less by Mike Thurgood on July 16 2012, 12:54 Find this comment inappropriate?

Limpopo schoolo books fiasco - Pt.2 In a truly democratic society with good governance and people in power with integrity, they would resign - witness the recent case of the Barclay's interest scam - and where court orders are concerned, definitely risk being imprisoned for not fulfilling . .more court orders for a specific action to be taken within a defined timescale. But here in South Africa, anything goes, with impunity, and those responsible seemingly believing that, in some very strange way, they have been very clever at what they have failed to achieve. . .less by Mike Thurgood on July 16 2012, 13:00 Find this comment inappropriate?

Limpopo disgrace Why must the principals and teachers be silenced? So that no-one knows of the disgraceful situation which still exists? It would appear that those in power (who should all be sitting behind bars) have less education than the poor children who they . .more are destroying. Never heard about our wonderful freedom of speech constitution?? If the teachers and principals do not speak for the children, who will. Has anyone heard the deafening silence from SADTU? . .less by Laura on July 16 2012, 14:03 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

The real reason the ANC need a secrecy bill Never mind the Boer, let us shoot the whistle blower! As only Pat Kgomo, the Dep of Education and the ANC can. I would suggest we have dancing SA military alongside singing Zuma, paid for by the white male tax payers, to send a clear message that this . .more hanus crime of informing the public of Government incompetence and corruption will not be tolerated by the ANC. . .less by Core on July 16 2012, 17:04 Find this comment inappropriate?
