The Democratic Alliance says it has discovered a fourth warehouse in Limpopo packed with several hundred books.

The management of the warehouse in Schoemansdal claims that books were delivered there last week. 

Since the beginning of the year there have reports of some schools that have not received textbooks, but the Basic Education Department denies these reports.

DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle said it is clear from these warehouses that the Limpopo Education Department is scrambling to address textbook shortages in schools.

Smalle added that four sets of warehouses have been used to drop off textbooks.
