The Democratic Alliance discovers destroyed textbooks in the Limpopo province on 23 June, 2012. Picture: HelenZille/Twitter - Provided by Eye Witness News online ‎"Relationship between Minister Motshekga and EduSolutions needs to be probed ..." - Annette Lovemore I totally agree with this. This follows the very little display of social outrage that Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga: 1. Failed to fulfill her portfolio as a Minister of the State by providing equipment necessary for basic education in Limpopo! 2. Attempted to shift the blame of this MONUMENTAL BALLS UP onto Anis Korodia  http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/motshekga-didn-t-fire-administrator-1.1326170#.T-eE8bU0Of4  . . . Bad Move, Angie!!!! NEWSFLASH: YOU, nay Mr Korodia, are the MINISTER FOR BASIC EDUCATION!!!! And the captain always goes down with the ship! What's done is done - OWN THE HELL UP and start fixing this mess! 3. Lied!

And Grahamstownians will feel safer knowing their safety's in the hands of robbers and thieves, right? And so w
