DA education spokeswoman Annette Lovemore said Zuma "reportedly" received the report on August 6. She said this was confirmed by Basic Education Deputy Minister Enver Surty in parliamentary questions on August 29.

Presidency spokesman Mac Maharaj could not immediately confirm whether Zuma had received the report.

On July 30, the presidency confirmed it had received a preliminary report from the task team, which was appointed on July 4.

Lovemore said: "We also have yet to see the report or any action from the president to hold those responsible for the crisis to account."

She had written to the Presidency asking that the report be tabled for discussion by the portfolio committee on basic education.

Cope's spokesman on education Willie Madisha said yesterday that Zuma was "tight-lipped" about the Limpopo textbooks matter.

"The opportunity now exists for President Jacob Zuma to walk the talk and release a report of the presidential task team," he said.

If Mthondo-Isizwe is tight-lipped about the textbook saga, then it must mean that fault has been found within the ANC echelons.

But lets see, who thinks he will blame apartheid again?

We'd all like to see it, but let's not be naive here. There is as much chance of the state making it available to the public as there is of a Mardi Gras on Mars. And of course Mac can't confirm anything. He's lost the ability to make any credible comment ages ago. Now when he speaks he is so clearly winging it and lying all the way that his eyes can't stop rolling around in his head.
