COSATU Gauteng has raised concerns following the Gauteng Department of Education’s disclosure that it uncovered 41 cases of alleged corruption, fraud, financial mismanagement and 11:10 maladministration at schools across the province. The allegations reportedly involve various individuals within the school environment, including principals, School Governing Body members, educators, administrative staff and service providers. COSATU Gauteng says these findings represent a serious breach of trust, warning that the misuse of school funds directly affects learners by reducing resources available for infrastructure, learning materials, support programmes and school nutrition initiatives. The trade union federation has welcomed the department’s internal investigation and its decision to refer criminal matters to law enforcement agencies, including the Hawks. COSATU Gauteng is calling for swift investigations, disciplinary action and prosecution of anyone found guilty, regardless of their position. The federation is also calling for stronger financial controls in schools, regular audits of school finances and procurement processes, the recovery of any public funds lost through fraud, and improved protection for whistleblowers who report corruption. COSATU Gauteng has stressed that the alleged misconduct of some individuals should not overshadow the work of the majority of educators and education workers who continue to serve learners across the province. The issue comes amid broader concerns about governance and accountability in the education sector, with calls for greater transparency to ensure that public funds allocated to schools are used for their intended purpose, improving learning conditions and supporting learners.

The incident occurred on the morning of [date], following a power outage that affected the surrounding central business district area at approximately 04:08. The hospital’s primary standby generator automatically switched on to maintain electricity supply to the facility.

The hospital’s secondary standby generator was activated as part of its contingency measures, ensuring that electricity supply continued while the external power supply was being restored. The Department confirmed that there was no disruption to patient care, emergency services, theatre operations or other essential hospital functions. No patients, staff members or visitors were injured, and no damage was reported to hospital infrastructure apart from the affected generator component. 10:35 Local Fire and Rescue Services were also called as a precautionary measure. Upon arrival, emergency personnel confirmed that the fire had already been extinguished and commended the hospital team for its swift response. The Department says technical teams are assessing the affected generator, with repairs to be carried out according to established maintenance procedures.

The South African Social Security Agency is intensifying its efforts to combat fraud and corruption within the social grants system by taking action against officials who abuse internal processes. SASSA Chief Executive Officer, Mr Themba Matlou, has warned that officials found to have bypassed the agency’s biometric system to process, verify or approve fraudulent grant applications will face disciplinary action, including criminal charges and dismissal. The agency says it has introduced stricter controls, including Beneficiary Biometric Enrolment, to prevent identity theft and ensure that social grants reach only legitimate and deserving beneficiaries. SASSA is also pursuing legal measures to recover financial losses caused by fraudulent transactions, including applying for Preservation Orders against the pension funds of officials involved in corrupt activities. Matlou says SASSA is also focusing on internal accountability, acknowledging that some officials have contributed to fraud by manipulating processes. The agency has already dismissed approximately 43 officials in recent financial years for various transgressions, including corruption-related offences. As SASSA marks 20 years since its establishment in 2006, the agency says it will continue strengthening its systems to protect public funds, improve grant administration and ensure that social assistance reaches those who need it most.
