Forensic experts have uncovered massive signatures fraud in the Collen Mashawana Foundation’s IDT documents relating to a R60m employment scheme. Shockingly, funds meant for impoverished EPWP workers allegedly didn’t reach them. This latest installment of @PLM’s investigation raises urgent and troubling questions about oversight and accountability.
@PLM’s following instalment of this story is a devastating read, and shows the human consequences of corruption. Unpaid EPWP workers say their signatures were forged to unlock millions in IDT funds for the Collen Mashawana Foundation, a massive alleged fraud exposed by DM’s exclusive investigation. What does justice look like for Rendani and the hundreds of others who went months without pay?
The IDT has vowed to launch an independent forensic probe into the massive signatures fraud allegations against the Collen Mashawana Foundation. They’ve also promised to bring in biometrics to stop it happening again. Is this the accountability we’ve been waiting for?
