‘I want to stand trial to clear my name': Tiffany Meek denies killing her son
'I did not kill my child. I will attend every court appearance. I want to stand trial to clear my name,' Tiffany Nicole Meek said in a statement read out by her lawyer in the Roodepoort magistrate's court.
The 31-year-old disclosed Jayden-Lee was her second child. She lost a newborn two days after birth when she was 18.
Estranged from her husband, Meek said she had been a single mom to Jayden-Lee and was financially supporting her mother and brother.
She earns R17,500 a month from a clerical job which she started in October 2023 and has since been promoted. This was verified via an employer's letter submitted to court.
Meek said she intends to relocate to her father's home in KwaZulu-Natal if released on bail, where she envisaged receiving the support of her extended family.
She said she could afford to pay a bail amount of R5,000.

Cracks in the skills system — allegations of corruption, waste, cover-ups in SA's Setas (Part 1)
South Africa's Sector Education and Training Authorities have once again landed in the headlines, this time over former higher education minister Nobuhle Nkabane's bungled appointment panel. Allegations ranging from political interference and misleading Parliament, to questionable board appointments have set off a storm of public outrage, legal reviews and parliamentary scrutiny. A look beyond the immediate uproar over former higher education minister Nobuhle Nkabane's bungled appointment panel reveals that South Africa's Sector Education and Training Authorities (Setas) are anything but recent. Long before Nkabane's tenure, these institutions were plagued by governance failures and corruption. Read more: Educated for leadership and engulfed by scandal, Minister Nkabane faces her sternest test. Damning case studies – on the Local Government Seta (LGSeta), the Health and Welfare Seta (HWSeta), and the Service Seta – reveal just how extensively public funds have been misused. LGSeta under fire for tender scandal and millions in wasteful spending The LGSeta has found itself entangled in controversy following a whistle-blower tip-off received by its current CEO, Ineeleng Molete. The whistle-blower, via former board chairperson Phumlani Mntambo, raised serious allegations of corruption, triggering a forensic investigation in 2022. The findings were staggering. Investigators uncovered systemic governance failures, including procurement irregularities linked to a R2.3-billion tender process riddled with noncompliance. The report also cited the irregular appointment of training providers, unauthorised discretionary grant allocations, financial bias and overpayments. Appearing before Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Higher Education in May 2025, Molete confirmed that a criminal case had been opened with the Hawks but said LGSeta was unable to name those implicated while legal proceedings were ongoing. Daily Maverick followed up with LGSeta to understand whether the case was still active. Molete said it is pending further investigation by the Hawks, adding that 'no arrests of individuals have been made by SAPS'. Reports of financial mismanagement didn't end there. In the 2023/24 financial year, LGSeta recorded R39.7-million in fruitless and wasteful expenditure, including R172,000 on trip-related incidentals. Molete defended the spending, explaining that R39,519,356.83 related to discretionary grant contracts that expired on 31 March 2024. 'While funds were disbursed, no money was lost or unnecessarily paid. The initial concern was deemed invalid and has been removed in the current financial year,' he said. He added that R122,800.00 was for learners who had passed away during their programmes. 'Consequently, despite funds having been committed for their development, LGSeta could not fully achieve the intended value for money,' Molete said. Another R104,651.00 had gone to a professor invited on an LGSeta trip as a subject matter expert, while R39,272.13 had been used during an official travel trip. Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority The HWSeta recorded R1.72-million in wasteful expenditure in 2023, including unpaid stipends, accommodation for absent learners, post-resignation salaries and interest on overdue invoices. Irregular spending hit R2.8-million due to inflated purchase orders and payments to unregistered stakeholders, though an internal probe confirmed only R160,000 was formally irregular. HWSeta has opened legal action against organisations that withheld learner stipends, including Afrika Connect (R900,000), Ludziwo Foundation (R469,000), Remmogo VE (R166,000) and Lithala Financial Education (R989,000). Two additional lawsuits loom. Lerong Consulting (Pty) Ltd is suing HWSeta for R823,267 over an alleged contract breach, with legal costs of R800,000, while True Harvest College seeks damages for reputational and financial losses, anticipating R550,000 in legal fees. HWSeta spokesperson Rulleska Singh told Daily Maverick about the disciplinary measures taken against those who signed off on payments to entities not registered with CIPC and the current status of the legal proceedings. 'Where wrongdoing was established, disciplinary proceedings were concluded, resulting in dismissals of responsible personnel… The Lerong Consulting matter remains ongoing, with a trial date yet to be set. The True Harvest College case has a trial date scheduled for 2026,' said Singh. She added: 'When stipend misuse was identified through the organisation's tip-off hotline, immediate action was taken, including referrals to legal representatives and opening cases with the South African Police Service. Of the 302 learners affected by these incidents, 232 have been compensated thus far. Recovery processes continue for all outstanding amounts.' DM

Gauteng department accused of bias as CFO faces prosecution while DDG stays at work
Gauteng MEC Jacob Mamabolo has downplayed accusations that there is bias in his office. Image: Bongani Shilubane / Independent Newspapers The Gauteng Department of Infrastructure and Development faces renewed scrutiny, accused of bias for spending over R5 million to prosecute a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who has been suspended with pay for more than a year. Meanwhile, a deputy director-general (DDG) facing more serious charges remains at work without suspension. The CFO, whose name is known to the publication, is undergoing a disciplinary process for insubordination, dereliction of duty, and absenteeism. Meanwhile, the DDG, whose name is known to the publication, remains at work despite facing more severe charges. These charges include gross misconduct, maladministration, and financial misconduct related to the controversial Mayibuye Primary School project in Tembisa. The project had been plagued by delays, cost overruns, and corruption allegations. According to a leaked charge sheet, the DDG is accused of causing the improper construction of the school without conducting a wetland study, leading to undue delays and cost overruns. The department allegedly incurred costs of R10,060,519.73 due to the contractor's standing time from December 2018 to March 2020. The DDG is also accused of irregularly appointing a contractor without going through a separate tender process for the construction of a smart school. The charge sheet states that the DDG's conduct was unwarranted, unacceptable, and prejudicial to the administration, discipline, and efficiency of the employer. However, his disciplinary hearing comes with additional controversy, with some DID employees saying he is attending the hearing while he is still at work. The publication has previously reported that the department's CFO had been charged in a different matter but was suspended from attending work, while the DDG is treated differently. A source in a senior position within the department, who spoke on condition of anonymity in case of reprisals, said officials within the department were questioning why this was the case. 'It's politics of favouritism that borders on near corruption at play here because how come a person (CFO) has to stay so long outside of work while another (DDG) is charged with even bigger charges but comes to the office as if nothing is happening?... It shows that it's selective... and it's a matter that is spoken about in the corridors every day,' the source said. Department spokesperson Theo Nkonki did not respond to questions sent to him; however, he referred them to department MEC Jacob Mamabolo, who played down the accusations. 'As far as I know, the department is handling the situation of the DDG, and investigations that will be reported to me afterwards are ongoing. The matter is being dealt with and there is no crisis… we should leave the matter to be investigated so we can move on from there,' Mamabolo said. Responding to the matter of the CFO and whether the DDG was going to be suspended, Mamabolo said that the case was also ongoing, and it was the prerogative of the employer to suspend the DDG if they felt that he would interfere with the investigation. Although it was not clear what the status of the CFO's case was, sources confirmed that it was ongoing and had already cost taxpayers R5 million. The charges against the DDG come after a report by the Public Protector, Kholeka Gcaleka, found irregularities and maladministration in the construction of the school. The report found the school was built on a wetland, endangering the lives of learners and staff members. Build One South Africa (Bosa) at the time welcomed the report and is calling for the recovery of the R82 million spent on the project. Bosa leader Mmusi Maimane had lodged a complaint with the Public Protector in 2020, highlighting the irregularities and corruption surrounding the project. Bosa member of the Gauteng provincial legislature, Ayanda Allie, had written to the office of Premier Panyaza Lesufi, requesting that he delegate a task force team to recover the squandered funds. Allie said that Lesufi's task force will aid in recovering missing funds and holding officials accountable for scrupulous conduct. 'We are of the view that the remedial action is flimsy and deficient and illustrates how far this matter is away from being settled. All effort must be made to recover the funds spent otherwise, shady contractors and compromised government employees get away scot-free,' Allie said. [email protected]

Gqeberha bank employee jailed for cyberfraud
A 35-year-old woman has been sentenced to five years' imprisonment for her role in what was described as a meticulously orchestrated fraud scheme involving the unlawful access and manipulation of a customer's banking profile. The Gqeberha regional court found Lusanda Gloria Qose, 35, a former sales and service consultant at First National Bank at Pier 14, guilty of fraud, cyberfraud and the unlawful use of a customer's credentials after her abuse of internal banking systems between January 22 and April 24 2024. The complainant, Mlungwana Maranti, 68, held an Encore account linked to a Money Maximiser account and a registered cellphone number used for authorising transactions via FNB's inContact system. Qose unlawfully changed his cellphone number on the bank's system using her employee credentials, diverting all one-time password authorisations to herself without the complainant's knowledge or consent. She created a second bank card linked to the complainant's accounts, which she used to transfer funds from the Money Maximiser account to the Encore account and conducted multiple ATM withdrawals over three months. These fraudulent transactions resulted in a total loss of R245,000.
