News24 reports that at least 185,000 teachers and other education staff have been vaccinated, with 30,000 jabbed in Limpopo on Friday and Saturday.
The vaccination of teachers commenced last week, with 582,000 persons targeted by 8 July. "The [Limpopo] province has managed to administer the vaccine to 15,000 people in two successive days. At this rate, Limpopo needs one more day to complete vaccinating everybody on the list," the Department of Basic Education (DBE) said on Sunday. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will be in the Free State on Monday to encourage people to be vaccinated. She will be joined by the provincial education MEC, Tate Makgoe, on visits to schools. The minister will proceed to the Northern Cape on Tuesday and to the Eastern Cape on Thursday. The visits are aimed at encouraging more people to get the vaccine. The DBE said it was satisfied with the turnout and remained hopeful the target would be met as scheduled. Provinces will continue with the vaccine rollout from Monday to Friday.
