SA Democratic Teachers’ Union general secretary Mugwena Maluleke said “it will take a miracle” for the department to get the work done by Monday. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga announced that her department was working hard to ensure schools would be ready on Monday. Motshekga, her director-general Mathanzima Mweli, and service providers, said yesterday that the blame for the delay in providing personal protective equipment , for pupils and teachers, lay with service providers - who “misled” them about their capabilities.
