The DA has laid a criminal charge against the provincial government for alleged irregularities
The DA has laid a criminal charge against the Eastern Cape government for alleged tender irregularities relating to a R160m contract to procure 55,000 tablets and e-learning material for the province’s grade 12 pupils.
He said the introduction of e-learning will contribute to the gains the province has made in the past three years. In 2019, the Eastern Cape registered the highest improvement of matric results in the country, obtaining a 76.5% pass rate compared with 70.6% in 2018. However, Mvoko told Business Day on Tuesday: “I have not [yet] received that letter. As treasury, we are still assessing the awarding of the contract.”
Gade’s spokesperson Vuyiseka Mboxela said on Tuesday: “It is unfortunate that the DA has opted to go the route of political grandstanding, in the process undermining the department's endeavour to draw in poor indigent learners so that they can also access virtual classes and e-learning education portals.”
