SOWETAN | Malfeasance thrives when its witnesses look the other way.
On Friday leaked documents surfaced showing Phathilizwi Training Institution invoiced the district municipality about R3m on May 21 and days later, a further R1.8m. The company had been contracted to conduct a community outreach campaign, teaching people about Covid-19.
The bill was charged for each person they had supposedly spoken to, a number they claimed to be 6,400 people. Only, according to the Sunday Times, some of those listed as having been reached, said this never happened. There are several questions to be answered here, including how their names got onto the list and whether this awareness campaign was actually ever done.
