Pupils pay politics' price: iLIVE

I am highly disappointed in the way political favours are costing us.

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has failed Limpopo pupils deeply, but nothing has been done about her. Is the timing not right?

Perhaps President Jacob Zuma is afraid of the tension it will create if she is dealt with?

Why should innocent pupils suffer while politicians play monopoly?

Some other countries are known for having the best engineers, lawyers and accountants .

The best job in South Africa is politics because there are no minimum requirements.
