The Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) today visited Lioli High School as part of the 2026 Back-to-School celebrations, delivering a strong anti-corruption message under the theme “Enough is Enough” with corruption – “Re Tenehile ke bobolu.”
The visit aimed to encourage learners to reject corruption in all its forms and to become ambassadors of integrity within their school and beyond. Addressing a special assembly, DCEO Director-General Administration Mr Litelu Ramokhoro emphasized that the fight against corruption begins with individual choices, even at a young age.
Learners were reminded that corruption is not limited to government offices or businesses but can also appear in schools through acts such as cheating during examinations, favoritism, misuse of school resources, or dishonest leadership practices.
“Corruption starts with small actions,” Director Administration Mrs Mabulara Chingando (a.i) told the students. “When you choose honesty, you are building a better future for yourselves and the country. Re tenehile ke bobolu— enough is enough with corruption.”
Mr Ramokhoro further encouraged students to spread the anti-corruption message to other learners in different schools and communities, reinforcing the idea that young people play a vital role in shaping a transparent and accountable society.
In addition to the integrity campaign, learners were also provided with career guidance. DCEO officials shared information about career paths within the anti-corruption sector, law enforcement, investigation, legal services, and public administration. Students were advised on subject choices, required qualifications, and the importance of discipline and strong moral values in building successful careers.
The career guidance session allowed learners to ask questions about professional opportunities and the skills needed to thrive in various fields. Officials stressed that integrity, hard work, and education are key foundations for any career path.
The school principal Professor Ramonki Seisa expressed gratitude for the visit, noting that the combined focus on ethics and career development was both timely and impactful at the start of the academic year. Students pledged to uphold honesty in their studies and leadership roles while working toward their future ambitions.
The 2026 Back-to-School initiative continues to empower learners across the country with the message that integrity begins with them — and that the future belongs to those who choose to do what is right.
