No textbooks as MoE and publishers fight in court

This followed the granting of the interdict by the High Court two weeks ago after two publishers approached it with complaints that they were unfairly disqualified and degraded in a tendering process full of serious discrepancies.
In the meantime, no books have been prescribed for Form Two, leaving an unholy climate of improvisation in which ill-suited and gross materials are finding their way into the classrooms of callow and impressionable minds.

Before MoE filed papers seeking to cancel the interdict, Clearcut Investment (Pty) Ltd and Deadline Print Brokers (Pty) Ltd had successfully gone to the High Court to seek a review of the assessment and evaluation of their materials during the procurement process.
