From the Inside: Tale of the Tablets — the Truth Will Out

He hadn’t worked in terrain where, as Winston Churchill noted, “a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on”.
In today’s “post-truth” era, social media regard facts as irrelevant. They have, sadly, become platforms of distortion and deception that enable lies to circumnavigate the globe several times before truth’s alarm clock even rings.

Dugmore, for his part, says he was acting on information provided by whistle-blowers from the Western Cape Education Department who came forward in 2017 to complain about an alleged risk of a conflict of interest they claim occurred three years earlier, in late 2014.

So, even before going into the details of the complaint, the first question that arises is: Why did the “whistle-blowers” wait three years to come forward? Dugmore claims they did so because it was only in 2017 that they “feared” the WCED might procure resources to benefit, above others, a small company in which my son is a partner.

My simple question is this: How is it possible that the “fear” of something that never actually happened could provide an acceptable basis for laying a complaint in the first place?

Quite evident that the PP is only serving one interest.
