Disobotla Municipality Under Fire for Managers with Only Grade 11 Level Education: “It’s a Family Affair”

• Mzanzi took to Twitter in outrage following a complaint sent to SA's Public Protector, which revealed that a local municipality employs managers with Grade 11 as their highest qualification
• South Africans were frustrated beyond belief as many have been focusing their lives around their tertiary education just to find out that a 'connection' is all you need
• 'Grade 11' has been trending on Twitter since the above was released as Saffas demand to know why and how these municipal workers got their jobs

The country has taken to the Twitter streets about having to grind for their money. A complaint was recently lodged with South Africa’s Public Protector about unqualified municipal managers getting jobs for having family members in all the right places.

The term “I know a guy” may have more weight behind it than we thought. Although many Saffas trade time, money and freedom for books and lectures, it seems some simply need to shake the right hands in order to achieve their goals.

"It's like that in many municipalities. I know a lady with N2 of electrical engineering, she is a superintendent. Because her brother is an HR manager. Imagine if all these people are demoted to general workers and only people who are qualified occupy the positions."

"Is this for real???"
