Dear Mr McClelland,
Church of Scientology
Your fax ref tm0506 dated 5 June
1991 regarding possible Church of
Scientology in South African school
education refers.
The matter has been taken up with
the Department of Education and
Culture as well as the Department of
Education and Training who are
responsible for school education in
South Africa.
Both denied any knowledge of the
Church's involvement in formal
education in South Africa./
According to the Department of
Education and Training, the Church
of Scientology tried to use a front
organisation in 1989, the so called
"Education Alive" but was not
allowed to get involved in the
Department's schools.
I am afraid their claim of
teaching 1.5 million children in
South Africa to read is just another
fabrication.
Yours sincerely
Johan Klopper
Second Secretary |
