R431 MILLION IN 3 MONTHS. THEY USED YOUR CHILDREN TO STEAL IT.
June to August 2020. You were locked inside. No work. No money. Burying family.
In those same 3 months, Gauteng Department of Education spent R431 million. For deep cleaning schools for Covid.
R431 million. In 90 days.
But Health never said schools must be deep cleaned like that. Basic Education never recommended it. It was not needed at all. It was unnecessary.
So what were they cleaning?
Hundreds of companies got paid. Many never cleaned anything before. No experience. Some were builders. Some were caterers. Some just opened a company yesterday. All got paid fast.
6 years later, no one has accounted for that money. No one arrested. No money back. No one fired.
R431 million gone.
That is R4.7 million every day. For spraying classrooms that were empty.
Your child's school still has no books. Still has broken toilets. 60 kids in one class. But they had R431 million to spray Jik.
Why pay companies that did no work? Why pay people who don't know cleaning?
Is it possible this money was stolen to fund elections? Think about it. Where does ANC get money for t-shirts and food parcels every election?
They stole during Covid. When people were dying. If they can steal then, they can steal anytime.
If you vote ANC again on November 4th, you are saying you are okay with this. You are giving them permission to do it again.
Don't forget this R431 million when they come with their next promise.
