This is false news, claims MEC
Lentswe, Mahikeng - The NW Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has noted with serious concern an audio recording currently circulating on various social media platforms. “The audio falsely alleges that the Department has recruited individuals from other provinces into a learnership programme at Kgora Farmers Training Centre and that such individuals are being remunerated by the Department,” the department said in a press release. MEC Madoda Sambatha rejected and distanced himself from these allegations. “The contents of the audio are false, misleading, and deliberately intended to create confusion and mistrust among the members of the public. At no stage has the Department engaged in the practices alleged in the recording,” he said. The Department wishes to reassure the public that all its programmes, including learnerships and skills development initiatives, are implemented in strict compliance with applicable policies, procedures, and legislative frameworks. Recruitment processes are transparent and guided by the principles of fairness, equity, and accountability.
