🛑Long(ish) post🛑 Good morning, everyone. A small update (rather late, I know 😔). I started as M&G's Investigations Head on 1 December, working with a young woman @Mandiisah2013, who has been doing well in our two weeks together. She wrote this piece. I've seen comments to the below story, and know there's a HUGE problem of school officials stealing money meant for learners. A few people have rightly stated that this nonsense is more widespread than reported, and we're building a bigger investigation on it. If you have any info of other schools in this sorry state, regardless of where in the country it is, please DM me or email to [email protected]. Anonymity is guaranteed. You will definitely be protected. Regards, Khaya.
