The Democratic Alliance has written to the Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga, asking her explanation on a tip-off they received about a contractor destroying (shredding and burning) textbooks.

The DA’s Limpopo Education spokesperson Desiree van der Walt said they were not there but thousands of textbooks were being destroyed as well as clean unused brand new exercise books.

She said the heartbreaking story is that almost seven months into the new academic year, learners if Limpopo Province has not received their textbooks yet. 

Van der Walt said that while all this is happening, only a few kilometres away, all these burning and shredding of brand new books was taking place.
