Four Eastern Cape education department officials will finally get their day in court after they allegedly stole R59m meant for school books in a corruption case dating back to 2014.

So, instead, the officials allegedly shifted 80% of the provincial textbook budget and channelled it into the procurement of the equipment, flouting procurement processes under the pretence that schools were adequately resourced with textbooks.

Siegesmund was one of the exhibitors and was required to pay an upfront exhibition fee to the conference centre, the same as all the other exhibitors. “Siegesmund was allegedly not registered as a supplier on the database of the department and had little to no experience or expertise in the supply of IT goods and services,” said Ngcakani.

Ngcakani said during mid 2014 the department distributed a catalogue to schools in the province containing IT goods which were selected from the exhibition and schools were encouraged to identify their needs from the catalogue and to submit them to the department.
