Really?Originally Posted by eltherza
Do you not think that perhaps the fact that the ANC has bungled this one so catastrophically gives a free pass to any and all to make whatever political mileage that they can from this? I mean, it's not like there's anything disingenuous, dishonest or underhanded about offering to deliver a service that the government is completely unable to? Or would you consider it treasonous to do the ANC's job? Undermining the government, making them look bad etc?
How embarassing for the ANC
Why didn't the DA offered the books earlier?

Why should they?
They are not in charge of education for South Africa.
they don't run Limpopo
I've got to stop saying "how stupid can you be?"...........Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
Well they refused to accept help while they are knee deep in the dwang... What do you think their reaction would have been like before the court ordered them to deliver?
May the wors be with you
Is it possible for a more incompetent bunch of nitwits to be in charge of our country? Textbooks in June, for gods sake. It is pathetic. Joe Slovo wanted one million houses in a year, I don't think they have reached that number in 18 years. Water, electrification, education and housing have all been failed by the ANC.

If they reject help like this, then all I can say is....suffer then!!!!
Problem is we all suffer.If they reject help like this, then all I can say is....suffer then!!!!
They then try to join the workforce and fail.
Vote ANC out of utter stupidity and fail.
When ANC doesn't provide we don't votela them out, we go and break taxpayers stuff, disrupt and throw stones at taxpayers and non ANC voters vehicles like in PE recently.
According to twitter, ANC is now destrpying the books that caused the problem.

Textbooks and stationery were dumped for disposal at a site in Seshego, near Polokwane, while many schools were still without these materials, Cope said on Saturday.
Congress of the People MP Tshilidzi Ravhuanzwo said the party was made aware about a week ago that "piles and piles" of books were being dumped.
The books and stationery, some still in their original packaging, were being burnt and shredded.
"So many schools don't have books, and [even old books] could have been used in libraries," she said.
Ravhuanzwo said that books from the previous curriculum would still be useful to teachers and pupils because the learning content did not change.
"We really need those old books, I would have like to have stopped them [destroying the books].
Limpopo education department spokesman Pat Kgomo said the matter only came to the department's attention on Friday.
How the materials came to be dumped was under investigation, he said.
On Friday, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga denied blame for a delay in the delivery of textbooks to the province's schools.
"I have not considered resigning," she told reporters in Polokwane.
"The best I can do is sort out what I started. I won't jump ship."
She blamed the delay on factors including cash flow and administrative problems.
In May, the High Court in Pretoria ruled the department's failure to provide textbooks violated the Constitution. The application was brought by rights organisation Section 27.
Motshekga said her department had met with Section 27 and agreed to move the deadline to Wednesday.

AND paying for the books to be destroyed. Madness, utter madness!

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga must explain how textbooks came to be dumped for disposal at a site in Seshego, near Polokwane, the DA said on Saturday.
"The Democratic Alliance in Limpopo inspected the site... yesterday where a contractor is claiming that they are being paid by government to destroy the books," spokeswoman on education Desiree van der Walt said in a statement.
Motshekga needed to immediately explain the contractor's claims, she said.
"It is unthinkable that books which are still of value to children with no access to reading material could be disposed of in this careless way.
"What kind of a person or regime sanctions the destruction of books?"
The shortages of reading material in schools across Limpopo made the destruction of the books "unacceptable", Van der Walt said.
