PRINCIPAL PROBED FOR FRAUD FORCED OUT


Source:iol.co.za

Parents of pupils at Fons Luminis Secondary school in Diepkloof took matters to their own hands so the parents were marching inside the school and demanding that the principal Lempe Motumi be physically removed from his office. The principal is facing charges of fraud and he is being investigated by the Gauteng department of education and by the police. One of the grade 8 student at school said, having Matumi while the school investigations were pending against him did not make sense. The principal confessed on spending R22 000 from the school account. He should be suspended while the investigation is pending. http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/principal-probed-for-fraud-forced-out-1.1247507
I honestly think that the principal did the wrong thing by using the school money and it brings bad publicity to the school. The department of education must come up with the strategy on how the school will use the money and putting people in charge on finances to all the government schools by so doing that it will reduce fraud within the schools. The department of education must also have the checking of flows of finances around the school.
IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
