The DA and Cope have said they want Angie Motshekga to answer to allegations that textbooks are being dumped and destroyed in Limpopo.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has denied blame for a delay in the delivery of textbooks to Limpopo schools, saying she would not quit.
Despite assurances that the education department would meet a high court ordered deadline, some Limpopo schools are still without textbooks.
The basic education department intends to go to court over a ruling compelling it to deliver monthly reports to a non-governmental organisation.
SA’s publishing industry had better prepare for deep and dire straits if the ANC’s plan to nationalise the production of textbooks goes ahead.
A judge has given the education ministry until June 15 to provide textbooks to pupils in Limpopo and ordered a catch-up plan to make up for lost time.
The basic education department’s failure to provide textbooks for several Limpopo schools violated the Constitution, a high court has ruled.
The blame game over who is responsible for Limpopo schools’ textbook shortage continues, as the province locks horns with national government.
