Aggrieved | Carte Blanche | M-Net

Cameras blocked by management, access point blank refused. Why is it so difficult to try and film at some of the country’s state-owned agricultural colleges? We investigate what’s really happening inside these campuses?

I implore Carte Blanche to go and have a look at Elsenberg College and see what a real agricultural college looks like.

[@glennborrageiro6257]

That this is happening is terrifying. That principle is typical of why this is happening at our institutions. The arrogance and lack of accountability. Just takes his no doubt substantial salary every month. The only way to change this is to vote out the ANC and certainly not replace them with the EFF.

[@rsa2uk902]

Eish.

[@terrencemkhululigxamza2472]

Anything and everything that has ANC in it is horrific...this is truly hurtful and disappointing.

[@akoamoseetave3091]

Like most African states ruling parties. South Africa is already on it's knees like Ghana,Cameroon,Nigeria . The next is the land reform that will completely kill the fiod securuty ofnthe country making it a banana republic.

[@JP-ri1rz]

2024 is around the corner and people will keep voting the same political party in power so they must not complain about the poor conditions of the agriculture college. They voted for it.

[@cheryldebeer4112]

This is another eye opener of the continuous corruption and how advanced it is. South Africa has been raped and shot in the knees. Will there ever be recovery?

[@bayandamkhonza8785]

This is the saddest thing Ive ever seen.I really hate the ANC .These people do not understand just how much they are collapsing the whole system.

[@perodenero]

This story went exactly as I expected, no surprises at all.

[@anthonyknoetze4037]

These students are the future of this country and the government does this to them

[@lizlsnyman-bouwer4238]

As someone who’s passionate about food production this absolutely breaks my heart. Dreams of youngsters wanting to make an honest living are being shattered because of empty promises. Our livelihood as a country and humanity depends on continued sustainable food production and we as a country (because of corruption yet again) are failing miserably at equipping our future agricultural entrepreneurs with the necessary skills to secure our future.

[@dominic5179]

60 million rand for a place that looks like that??? Corruption wins again!

[@albertlouw2520]

And once again the same old story like in the rest of the country,the money has disappeared and all of a sudden nobody knows where it is and nobody will ever be held accountable for it.

[@boussougouowarel286]

In South Africa the suffering of people is not the luck of money it's the result of bad leadership and corruption

[@PaulMabena]

2024 is the last of ANC as our leaders! #ANCMUSTFALL

[@debranathanson1756]

Our government hospitals are bad and people are dying from sepsis due to neglect from the staff. Wounds not been cleaned and drips not changed to get antibiotics into patients. What can be done about that? I had a friend die yesterday, 25 September 2022, due to this. Surely they have a duty of care toward their patients. My friend said she can’t say anything or else she is victimised. She also commented on how badly they treated a 78 year old lady and “tossed her around like a sack of potatoes”. This is inhumane.

[@waltherziemerink]

I can tell you exactly whats wrong, but the majority of keyboard warriors will attack me.......cANCer

[@thabangtshepo7631]

there is a need for strong independent prosecution center/service in South Africa, ANC government clearly failed in good governance.

[@elnakupke1817]

Everywhere the government has ITS finger in the pie, it goes DOWN THE DRAIN... WE SEE IT DAY BY DAY... THANK YOU ANC AND CO...

[@wellinever1558]

just shocking. we handed a fully working country to the criminals called ANC..

[@jamesbowie6057]

How about a interview with the ULA on FREE THE CAPE who are the only group who have the legal right to ask for a referendum , if get 2million mandates

[@ollievw3450]

Cedara is just down the road from my farm. I was planning to make a visit, but now I am definitely going to do that.

[@tumelo181]

I moved to USA 🇺🇸 5 years ago and every years I come to SA 🇿🇦 for couple of months it’s sad seeing how bad things are becoming And honestly I’m glad I’m paying taxes overseas in 1st world country than giving to the extreme corruption we face in SA🇿🇦 😢

[@akoamoseetave3091]

I lived there in the early 2000's and left in the 2010. When i visited again last year the situation was heartbreaking. Even the streets are not properly taken care off. U can imagine church square in pretoria is a sleeping place for the Nyaopees.

[@mpolokengmoshou7679]

I cnt blv there's is not any uproar ensuing because of this

[@okn22921]

Nothing is surprising anymore.

[@mattewis9519]

absolutely shocking!! I feel so sorry (and angry!) for the students. they have plans to learn to grow food (and pay for it, which is not cheap) and instead they get this. Farming is the most important occupation next to doctors, teachers and nurses as they provide the food that we eat. How can people learn to improve our country (and their lives) with this? Something drastic has to happen. Rich, lazy govt officials just continue feeding from the trough filled by us people, who the govt disregard and have no respect for.

[@helenduplessis4166]

Sjoe! More opportunities to steal money!

[@bobbyshabangu]

My goodness, this is depressing! What is DG of Land Reform Mdu Shabane say about all of this!

[@phiwayinkosizulu9529]

Dear Carte Blanche please also visit Emakhazeni boarding school in Macharadorp Mpumalanga( especially the hostel). It's not an agricultural college but it's also in a shocking state

[@alexeyrodokanakis8827]

Yet another depressing factor of life in South Africa

[@colleenward3425]

young students next time remember vote wisely for a better future n life fir yourself

[@dirkbrits9230]

Can you see ZIM loading ?

[@bhekamkhize3422]

And then we wonder why we have so much unemployment. We are our worst enemy. Rise up black child and do it for yourself. No one is doing anything for you.

[@johnlamb3101]

Imagine the value of these college passing certificates? Rubbish - not worth the paper they are printed on.

[@stephenhubber9184]

It’s a microcosm of SA in general. Very sad and unacceptable

[@davidmotlaloe5628]

The number of staff increases but Maintanance decline with increase in staff? I am disappointed in black leadership.

[@bpt13242]

I grew up nearer to TOMPI SELEKA agr-college. It's a pain to see the state of the college today. #crythebelovedcountry

[@colleenward3425]

that poor lonely cow doesn't even have company ...his a lone ranger on dry barren land ...Wat a sad life that cow has...

[@SpycosMt]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣mzans corruption is world class. jaivani amapiano

[@waynestenhouse7406]

Rather show somthing that is paid for by tax money and run by goverment that is working

[@maid9716]

Corruption at its best level I give up anc dey are up dere at offices n not checking down dere its disgusting its poor everything

[@wondering8327]

ANC government what have u done with our beautiful country?

[@absalommahlangu9696]

This so sad, public protector must investigate this government theives

[@edwinblake]

The tragedy of this country, all the money goes on jobs for incompetent pals and family. That is, when it is not straightforwardly stolen.

[@lungifakazi3744]

Kwaze kwabuhlungu. Cry our beloved country

[@Ca55-WP]

Wow this is just too depressing for words! That principal is the epitome of ANC cadres. Not interested in anything other than looking important and collecting a salary. The bit about the staff stealing the students' harvest is actually embarrassing!

[@mrmanq9517]

ANC has to Gooooooooo!🤮 NPA i hope you are watching....

[@ngsystemstaalphadoorswindo3860]

Comments

[@wazha1000]

How's this college still accredited??

[@imtiazdasoo9925]

Why is the EFF not running their mouths 😒

[@TheBulletspace]

The ANC is disgusting. Where is the money? This makes me sad.

[@mandlaluthuli6640]

This is sad. Even that one lonesome cow may not want to be there either.

[@mariananel3102]

I have grown up in Potchefstroom. I am shocked to see how the "proefplaas...pampoenboere" detoriated! What a disgrace...

[@afriworia5020]

Ugh, let's blame the foreigners and Malema.

[@SeanBZA]

What do you expect, the fish rots from the head......

[@witsend008]

All so utterly hopeless ! RSA is rotting away.

[@ellenmondengwako3158]

Train management in Botswana to see what college need

[@VhoniMaboga]

This is very bad! What skills will these students take to the competitive labour market? I really feel sorry for them and wish that there could be very urgent interventions to help them.

[@shaunspies1108]

Looks like imbezzlement and corruption, together with incompetence is clearly to blame.

[@freddievanleeuwen]

Absolute disgrace.

[@eisbeinGermany]

what i just find so funny is that no one posts any comments here,

[@pieterpompies2093]

Keep voting anc..... what can go wrong??

[@hopeforall8135]

JEEEEEEEEESUS CHRISTUS VAN GETSEEMANI...HY ALEEN EN NIEMAND MEER NIE.

[@Moyopheus]

This is precisely why handing people land is not a panacea to the land issue. Working Capital is always required.

[@Kels7283]

who can I contact to get a product to the farmers?

[@mphukuthulandlovu7214]

Sadly this is happening to many agricultural colleges it is ridiculous that we have tmao many issues in common. I mean how do we live in such environments, eat on such environments and still be told that our issues are being resolved by service providers... these Service providers are not serious. Issues aren't resolved, food issues and the Menus 😂have you ever been told that this is the food you get because that's what you wrote down? How do you under cook rice everytime😂💔. I'm not laughing I'm disappointed 😔

[@colleenward3425]

everything is run into the ground

[@gavinliebenberg1276]

Blame the ruling party

[@colleenward3425]

everything is in a sham

[@gpgreyvenstein8227]

I'd really really really love to hear Maite Nkoana-Mashabane's response to this. . . .

[@colleenward3425]

once they say no filming u know the reason why

[@kambrose1549]

The staff are clearly qualified to go to gaol

[@stubromac2711]

Vote for the anc

[@ruthjackson6168]

Shocking. So very sad...

[@G512-r7i]

Sad very sad

[@paultappan9055]

Vote ANC!

[@shathaniketogetswe4271]

Wow 😵😵😵

[@zamaonceya8736]

its a mess

[@jacquelinemwanza4761]

Eyesore

[@lehlogonolomaloma7360]

Yah ne....

[@Sivu_chlali90]

This is angering, worse part is the department of agriculture doesn’t do any follow up on matters like these…… It seems as if there aren’t even audits to check where all the money is going and how it’s being used.

[@sihl3n]

💔🤬

[@mitchelldenysschen3224]

😢

[@godfreymodise6459]

This is heart breaking

great episode

[@frannieswannie6046]
