Text book fiasco

(city press.co.za)

So, the text book fiasco continues with no concrete conclusion to it.
Even though most of the country's population wants the minister of basic education removed from her position, fact of the matter is that, its likely not to happen. Its best that we put our weapons down and rest our opinions on the issue.
Jacob Zuma has made it clear to the nation that he will not make that call till further "investigations", Lord knows when that will be...

(mg.co.za.text books left unutended at Limpopo)

Speaking to YFM news reporter about the issue, the minister mentioned that "peoeple expact her to be on her knees forever, i have apologised and i will not do that".
Yes we acknowledge her apology, but for her to actually come out and say that, its very low and shows no sign of remorse. Angie should learn to take responsibility for her actions, she had a duty to perform and so she failed at it, and so she needs to do an hounrnarable thing and resign before the people start forcing her to do so.
Today's youth is fighting for economic freedom, and this can only be done when they are educated, so students need those text books, least she could have done is do a follow up, to check if the job has been done. The rainbow nation cannot be reflected in sports like soccer or rugby, the only time we can have a united and equal South Africa is if resources of the country are shared equally.
for this to happen we need a group of educated public administrators who are able to interpret the legislation and policies of government.

  1. What she said during the interview on YFM was very rude. It is her job to make a follow up that all books were delivered to all the schools. I think that the best thing for her to do is to resign.

  6. I think proper investigations have to be made, the minister is not the only one responsible for the whole province. What happened to municipal government? If anyone needs to be blamed, I say it is the whole government.

  7. I really think an apology does nothing for our country when the textbook situation has not changed.What is there to investigate? there should be a focus on ways to correct the fact that learners will have to repeat grade 10, The right to basic education has been violated and there is only one woman responsible: Angelina Motshekga. I agree that "the only time we can have a united and equal South Africa is if resources of the country are shared equally".
