About 5,000 books were found dumped in Majeje village near Phalaborwa on Monday. It was the third incident where books were found dumped under mysterious circumstances.

In June books were found being shredded while others were burnt in Seshego. Last month another pile of books were found dumped near Nsami Dam in Giyani. An education department official was arrested for allegedly dumping the books. Glen Kubayi, 44, is out on R2000 bail and will appear again in the Giyani Magistrate's Court on September 5.

Police spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Ronel Otto said yesterday they had intensified the search for those dumping the books. "We . hope that the perpetrators would shed light as to what led to their actions," she said.

Department of Basic Education spokesman Panyaza Lesufi said he hoped police would speed up their investigations to ensure that those responsible were dealt with.

according to our DoE, these ones weren't books they were 'promotional material'.

It is AUGUST and they still have no clue. It is past time that we got some results from the Minister. At the moment, they don't even have a usable catch up plan. I presume they are working on the idea of just lowering the pass rate again and making the tertiary system deal with their mess

Please people help me to understand here , why Malema is quite about this should he be not making noise here isn`t this the opportunity so show his character as a true leader to get down to the bottom of this maybe donate one of his BEE tender cars to transport these books personally speaking I think Winnie and Malema are loosing the opportunity to shine here. I wonder were are the friends they have been vocal what a shame

Morning All
I do not think Angie or our president are doing a good job, but I do think that someone or some people in Limpopo are trying to sabotage the government; ultimately Zuma. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind dump text books? Why is this happening in Limpopo? Why is the premier of Limpopo so quiet about this? Why is Malema quiet?

the knock on effects are much wider than just the tertiary education system, knock on in society as well. The individuals affected by this will also have to "carry" this through their lives. It is amazing that the country any country allows this to happen in today's world...
