Public Protector Investigation on Eastern Cape
Superintendent-General Adv Modidima Mannya going ahead
Tuesday, 24 January 2012
Public Protector Adv Thuli Madonsela wishes to clarify that
the investigation into the Eastern Cape
Superintendent-General Adv Modidima Mannya is proceeding
with modifications. The Public Protector would like to put
on record that the investigation into allegations of
irregular appointment is the only part of the investigation
that she is no longer pursuing as a court of law is in a
process of making a determination on that matter. The Public
Protector Act prohibits the Public Protector from
scrutinizing court decisions.
The investigation into the following allegations of
maladministration is continuing:
1. Appointment of ESP Consultants without tendering for
R1.4million contract.
2. Maladministration in the awarding of stationery tenders
3. Maladministration in the awarding of reconstruction of
mud schools tender
4. The lack of scholar transport, school nutrition and
stationery at the beginning of 2011 as well as there being
no winter school in 2011.
The Public Protector also noted the SA Democratic Teacher�s
Union concern about the slow pace of the investigation. The
investigation will now move at a faster pace due to
additional capacity received and it will be finalized by the
end of March 2012.
