Johannesburg - Investigations into the recent dumping of school textbooks in Limpopo's Phalaborwa region were continuing, police said on Wednesday.

“No one has been arrested so far. We are following all possible leads,” Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said.

More than 5000 textbooks, from grades zero to nine for various subjects, were found dumped in Majeje on Tuesday.

On Monday, President Jacob Zuma received a preliminary report from a presidential task team that investigated the late delivery of textbooks in the province.

Zuma was studying the report and urged the task team to continue and conclude its work. He would comment on the report once the matter had been concluded. - Sapa
