* History book angers Buthelezi
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is arranging a series of protests to
end the use of a Grade 12 history book it describes as "biased
propaganda... poisoning the minds of children".
National protest organiser Albert Mncwango said on Tuesday that the
book, titled In Search Of History, is being used by schools throughout
South Africa.
"The IFP is protesting (about) biased propaganda masquerading as Grade
12 history," he said in a statement.
"This Grade 12 history book, being used in some schools as a
prescribed work, tells blatant lies and deliberately distorts facts
about the role of the IFP and the contribution made by its leader,
Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi," he added.
He said protests would start in KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday.
"We cannot allow our children to be poisoned with this... abominable
propaganda and the deliberate twisting of history to distort who did
what, when and where."
He stressed that schools should be places of learning and "not
propaganda incubators where learners are brainwashed".
Two protests are scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Empangeni and
Port Shepstone where a memorandum is expected to be handed over to
representatives of education minister Naledi Pandor. - Sapa
