No textbooks for pupils on first day of school in Eastern Cape

This after it became clear on Wednesday that not all pupils would not have textbooks on their first day of school because these were not delivered on time because the provincial education department did not have the money to pay for supplies.On Wednesday Yusuf Cassim, DA’s provincial spokesperson on education, said pupils at 4 703 out of 5 451 public schools in the province started the school year without textbooks because it had not yet received the Learner Teacher Support Material.

The department had significantly cut per pupil subsidies, while the budgets were also drastically cut, making it impossible for the schools to place orders for the textbooks and materials required, he said. The MEC said the department had to reconsider the resourcing strategy so it could engage the school community on the new normal. In 2016, the province procured LTSM for R1 billion and the lifespan for textbooks was five years.

Make that first week, not first day. we have to buy books as if they didn't know the schools will open

EC. The ANC strong hold. let them suffer even more. I feel zero fucks. U can't repeat voting and putting corrupt leaders in your municipality then later complain about service delivery. Fussssek

CapeIndependence is coming

the incompetence of this government is fucking horrendous! voetsekanc110

Eastern Cape is a dead province who doesn't know that anyway criminals are incharge of the province and they are proud of that nonsense they are doing in there thieves.

Lies!!!

Im a teacher there is no stationery yet No payment for the EAs and GSAs

It's normal, culture!

There was a video of a coffin crossing an unstable bridge, only in Eastern Cape,my home province 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Thank was supposed to be Thambo, thanks to my tjatjarag phone 😭😭😭😭😭🤪🤪

People in Eastern Cape are still seeing Mandela,Thank, Sisulu and the others in the ANC, they truly feel indebted to the party, and the leaders are taking advantage of the situation, people of Eastern Cape will never wake up from their sleep and they worship leaders 😡💔

And Eastern Cape is very beautiful but the leaders, I really don't what to say about them, I have no words 💔😭🙆🤷

They can't even pay contractors and they lock schools in return, imagine giving such power to someone, children can't access their school because officials in charge didn't pay but their own kids are in private schools, and the parents of those who can't access school voted 🙆🤷

There is nothing surprising about EC anymore. R15m stadium etc

Excellent OscarMabuyane EASTERNCAPEGOV you guys are so super efficient it’s scary.

It had to be the Eastern Cape 🙆‍♀️

MbuyiseniNdlozi I am so happy trust me friends, it works 99% when it comes to the currency and bitcoin market. I can not say that she is 100%, it is only God who is 100% try her and see how it goes Yanasvetlana123

Wonder if all W Cape schools have books?

Eastern Cape... 😭😭😭😭

Not only in eastern cape am sure of it. Across the country, most schools are never prepared for the reopening of schools each year. No suprise here

It's the eastern Cape no surprise there, like no water in East London since Monday No sure who's in charge 🤔

people of eastern cape deserve every little horrible thing they're facing! even that bridge

I dont believe this headline

Children are suffering because of parents' poor decisions 💔😔

EC must be privatised or made a poor country of their own. Mabuyane will be the president

The cursed province

Can someone please buy this province or where can one return it? 🤦🏼‍♀️ VoetsekANC

Children punished for their parents' sins, eish EC and my province of Limpopo just love the ANC yoh.

MbuyiseniNdlozi

Always behind, When we say the standard of education is not equal,rural areas and urban areas,they deny all. That's the reason most pupils flock to Gauteng; WC;FS.

MbuyiseniNdlozi I just got another payout of R6Ok. can't just believe this, because I have lost so much in Bitcoin investment with several people, took a lot of loan until I was introduced to this great account manager who helped me recovered all my lost. thank you so much 🥰 MichaelWeldon_

This one is not a a dark person worse from E.Cape.What is his clan name?

THE TOTAL INCOMPETENCE OF THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION NAMELY THE ANC IN GOVERNMENT.

MEC said they last procured in 2016, not surprised

Can't say I'm surprised. E.C government seems to be incompetent in all spheres yoh

Truely speaking the government of South Africa dosent care about people's. Cutting edge all ways reveal the poor sevice delivery on that province from housing dpt,water dpt,education dpt. Health dpt .all those department they very poor sevice but nothing

If it's not bridges falling, it's low matrics pass rate, if it's not poor service delivery, it's the fact that the EC is the poorest province in the country but the only thing abantu basephondweni seem to take very seriously luloluko, nothing else. They keep voting 4 d same party

proudly brought to you by the ANC and cadre deployment

It serves them well those eastern cape ppl behave as they're indebted to that useless ANCrooks it has been unconviencing them impunitively due to the fact it knows that despite all the inconveniences those faithfools are blindly loyal

After 1 week trade I recently checked my wallet and it's just like a dream to me, $5.450 earn 📊 I am forever grateful for this opportunity, Thank you 🙏 MichaelWeldon_
