Question NW129 to the Minister of Basic Education
28 February 2018 - NW129
Ollis, Mr IM to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 2672 on 19 September 2017, has she made a decision regarding the tabling of the Nexus report?
Reply:
The Minister has made a decision regarding the NEXUS report. The context of that this report was that it was submitted to the Ministerial Task Team (MTT) as a confidential document in order to provide information on the cases under investigation in the selling of posts.
The report contains various confidential matters that need to be addressed through the audi alteram partem principles which could open the Department of Basic Education up for litigation if not respected.
As the report emanates out of the provincial investigation, which is still sub judice, the Minister is not in a position to make its contents known. It is therefore advisable that the matter is taken up with the relevant province from which report emanates in order for them to determine when the report may be made available.
