Fakes News Alert: SA schools will NOT close for 4 weeks following coronavirus outbreak The Education Department issued a statement on Sunday stating that there is no truth to the document making the rounds across social media.
"South Africans must ignore the misleading document as it was not issued by the Department. It is not a formal circular. The signature of the Director-General was lifted from the guidelines sent out to schools earlier this week.
"The Department appeals to South Africans to always check the source of the documents and information they receive before sharing it further. Director-General of the Department of Basic Education, Hubert Mathanzima Mweli took to twitter where he advised South Africans to disregard the circular: "Pease note that this document is not genuine. It has my signature but it is a fake document. Please ignore it."
