Ramaphosa Ally in R2-Billion School Nutrition Scandal Shock

Ramaphosa Ally in R2-Billion School Nutrition Scandal Shock

A company closely associated with Jomo Sibiya, who serves as the Deputy Minister of Labour and Employment and is known to be a close ally of President Cyril Ramaphosa, appears poised to benefit significantly from a contentious R2-billion school nutrition programme in KwaZulu-Natal. This revelation, brought to light by News24, has stirred fresh debates about transparency in government procurement processes, the influence of political connections on tender awards, and the potential for abuse of public funds. Critics argue that the timing of the company’s formation raises questions, as it was established just before the tender process was launched, prompting concerns about whether it was prepared to supply meals to thousands of schoolchildren across the province.

The programme aims to address hunger and improve concentration levels among learners in impoverished areas, but it has become embroiled in controversy after the provincial education department decided to cancel several existing contracts and replace them with a centralized supplier. This move has raised suspicions among opposition parties and civil society groups, who are calling for an independent investigation into how the tenders were awarded. They argue that the process appears to favor those with political ties, undermining efforts to ensure fair competition and transparency.

Jomo Sibiya has publicly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he disclosed his involvement with the company and that no laws have been violated. His spokesperson maintained that the procurement procedures were followed correctly. Meanwhile, the Department of Basic Education has yet to issue a formal comment on the allegations, but civil society organizations continue to demand full transparency by releasing all relevant tender documentation.

Analysts warn that if no decisive action is taken, this scandal could erode public confidence in government initiatives and fuel perceptions of corruption within the ruling party. Though President Ramaphosa’s office declined to comment, citing the distinction between party politics and government affairs, there is mounting pressure for the leadership to address these concerns before the upcoming elections in 2026. The unfolding situation underscores the importance of accountability and the need for clear, transparent processes in managing public resources.
