🔒The Gauteng government has people scratching their heads over a bizarre property deal involving a plot of land and the school built on it being sold off in 2006, and the education department then paying dearly to rent it.🤔 Click here📱
Phoenix High School’s School Governing Body has approached AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit for irregularities in the sale of state-owned land and possibly outright corruption. Despite all this evidence presented to the GDE, under the stewardship of its former MEC, Panyaza Lesufi, the school remains in a precarious situation and nothing has been done to investigate potentially serious crimes.
The property on Beethoven Street in Duncanville, Vereeniging, in the Vaal is home to Phoenix High School Vereeniging, a former Afrikaans-medium, public, no-fee school, which caters to a vulnerable community. The lease was signed in November 2013, and included a settlement of R1-million for arrears and then R110 000 per month, with annual 9% escalation.
According to documents in AfriForum’s possession, the property was transferred to the new owners in July 2006 and the lease with the education department was signed in August 2021.AfriForum claims to have information that land owners have completed all the necessary steps to develop the property into a business area, including the school’s only soccer fields.
