Explosive letter reveals misuse of Necsa funds

An explosive letter on 17 Oct 2019 from the current Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (Necsa) board to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Minerals and Energy reveals new information relating to misuse of Necsa funds by the former board under fired former chairman Kelvin Kemm and former CEO Phumzile Tshelane.

The letter reveals that Necsa has been making massive operating losses since 2014, which have deteriorated over the years and resulted in various ring-fenced funds being irregularly used to meet operating expenses, including salaries.
 
TLDR;
Do not pass begin, do not waste your time complaining.
Just get the f**k out of this place.
 
Wikipedia: From the 1960s to the 1980s, South Africa pursued research into weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Six nuclear weapons were assembled. Before the anticipated changeover to a majority-elected African National Congress–led government in the 1990s, the South African government dismantled all of its nuclear weapons, the first state in the world which voluntarily gave up all nuclear arms it had developed itself.

And now we know why..
 
Until those implicated start facing criminal charges and get convicted through our legal system, letters remain letters.

Necsa runs the Pelindaba facility close to Hartbeespoort dam.

The first section of the complex and the SAFARI-1 reactor was commissioned in 1966. The apartheid government wanted to strengthen our national defense force and it was used for research purposes.

Pelindaba is said to be the older side that houses the nuclear reactor later Valindaba was built to make enriched uranium in the 1970-1990s. From my understanding at the time we had difficulty getting enriched uranium into South Africa for the purpose of making bombs because of the sanctions imposed on us. Then Prime Minister John Vorster said that if South Africa could not get the enriched uranium we would simply set up a facility to make it ourselves and Valindaba or Y-Plant was born.

Hartbeespoort Dam as a town was home to most of the nuclear engineers that worked at what it was then called AEK (Atoom Energie Korporasie) there was always a high level or secrecy about what exactly was happening at the facility.

It is said that 7 Nuclear bombs where manufactured at the facility and that after the change into democracy the SAFARI-1 reactor was then only used for research and medical isotope manufacturing. The nuclear bombs where said to have been dismantled.

Construction of Koeberg Nuclear power plant started in 1976 and the first unit was commissioned after 8 years in 1984 and Unit 2 in 1985. There are two french nuclear reactors with 1 940 MW of power.
To date it remains the only nuclear power plant in Africa.

We made nuclear bombs? wow

Can you imagine the comrades today trying to do that, eh eish what does this button do? BOOOMM

Yebo, back when I was in the Weermag, we heard rumors that Yank satellites picked up our underground testing , and were quite naturally perturbed. Makes sense that our nukes were so quickly dismantled.
 
They wanted to arrange a meeting to discuss the problems but the letters didn't get delivered. It's the Post Offices fault, how can you guys be so critical? :p
 
Yoh this thread is going to send Mybroederbond into a tailspin.

First you have a whitey complicit in corruption, then some oke posts a video with not one but TWO nuclear physicists of colour (one of them female for extra REEEE!)
