BY STAFF REPORTER
VRYBURG- The acting Director for Education in Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District is been accused of exchanging his body fluids with one of junior staff who is an intern at the Vryburg district office.

This came to light after our mole informed us that close to six men armed with guns, pounced on the staff at the district office demanding to see the Acting Director, Ogopoleng Vaaltyn.

“We were all frightened after close to four men armed with guys came into our offices and demanded to see Mr Vaaltyn. Fortunately enough, he was out of the office and he must thank his lucky stars” our mole said.

According to information, it is alleged that Vaaltyn is having extramarital affairs at work with an intern and the girl he allegedly exchanged his body fluids with, is now pregnant.

The wife of Vaaltyn, who also works for department of education but in Delareyville allegedly received this unholy information and went to the office to confront the girl who is known to us.

“The wife of Mr Vaaltyn came to the office and threw some tantrum over this issue. She was very aggressive and confronted the girl” our mole outlines.

The Acting Director for department of education is allegedly suspended.

However North West departmental spokesperson for Education Brian Setswambung, poured cold water on the matter and said the acting director is on “special leave” for a week and will be back at work on Monday.

“I can confirm that…yes we received those allegations that our Acting Director at Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Office, Mr Ogopoleng Vaaltyn has a relationship with one of our junior staff and we also heard that some men came here under false pretext looking for him. I would like to put it clear that all this, are treated as allegations until we received formal and factual information and Mr Vaaltyn is on special leave not suspended as you say” Setswambung said.

Setswambung said the wife of Ogopoleng Vaaltyn is not suspended nor received any letter of intention to be suspended.

“We can say the wife of Mr Vaaltyn who also works for department isn’t suspended nor received any letter with intention to be suspended” he said.
