Basic education minister Angie Motshekga's scheduled briefing about the reopening of schools was on Sunday postponed to Monday morning.
She was initially scheduled to address the media “to provide an update on the readiness for the reopening of schools” at 4pm on Sunday, and then the time was later moved to 6pm.“The media briefing by the minister of basic education, Angie Motshekga, scheduled for today, 31 May at 18h00, has been rescheduled due to the minister being engaged in further consultations on the readiness for the reopening of schools,” her office said in a statement.
Several sources said Motshekga acknowledged to the five unions and three major governing body associations that met her that “the system is not completely ready”. The education spokesperson was not immediately available on Sunday evening to clarify whether grade 7s and matrics were expected back at school on Monday morning.
