Reply:
The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has written a letter to Limpopo Provincial Education Department (PED) to request a response to the question raised above as DBE does not have the required information. The DBE will forward the response from the PED as soon as the information is received. It is suggested that the request be made through the Provincial Legislature in Limpopo.
