Basic Education Minister "It's not my fault" Angie Motshekga has praised
Limpopo principals and curriculum advisors for their dedication in the face of what can only be described as a shambles - namely the textbook debacle in Limpopo. Pity she cannot say the same about some of the officials in that province.

On the manufacturing front, Trade and Industry (dti) Minister Rob Davies says that the best way for Africa to forge ahead and develop is by industrialising. Davies reckons it's
