COSAS RESPONSE TO LIMPOPO TEXTBOOK QUESTION
The Congress of South African Student wishes to express its utterly disgust on the injustice done to the learners in Limpopo province, which has seen their right to education being highly limited. We see the frustration encountered by the student as nor less than a barbaric act that seek to set the country backward from the progress that the ANC led government has made in transforming the education quality of the majority. As the failure to deliver textbooks remains, this is equal to depriving the children of their constitutional right to basic education.
We call upon the department to lay criminal charges against the company that was contracted to deliver textbooks which were found dumped by the side of the road and further cancel it from tendering with any government department, as they have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they do not harbour even just a bit of the interest of the learners at heart.
We further call for the agent evaluation of the performance of the basic education minister in her term of office by the President. We remain dissatisfied about her obsession on the HIV/AIDS testing of the learners at schools when the credibility of the department is at the state of collapse.
