The department confirmed that no person by that name is employed by the GDE in Tshwane or any of its district offices, and that all school placements are handled exclusively through the official GDE Online Admissions System.

“Parents must understand that no individual can fast-track the placement process. Those who pay these fraudsters are paying for nothing,’ the department spokesperson, Steve Mabona said.
