Limpopo premier Stan Mathabatha says the provincial government is ready to ensure that the 2018 school year succeeds.
Mathabatha says unlike in the previous years, all schools received text books and stationery on time.
He visited the Sethethwa High School in Zebediela outside Lebowakgomo.
“The provincial government is ready, everything is in place unlike previously in fact all the schools that we are visiting are not complaining about books they are not complaining about stationery which says to me that chapter has been closed. I am here at Sethethwa school today and I have realised all the students are there and they were in their lines in the morning.”
