22 April 2025The Mpumalanga Premier, Mr Mandla Ndlovu says the investigation on the matter pertaining the acquisition of laptops by the Department of Education, is at an advanced stage. This after his announcement during an oral reply session at the Provincial Legislature, that an investigation will be instituted into this matter.
