In Limpopo, African learners were registered in large numbers at DET schools at 98.8%, the second largest number (0.8%) at HOA schools, the third largest (0.3%) at HOR schools and the lowest number (0.1%) at HOD schools.
The majority of African learners in Limpopo were attending DET schools, while there was limited movement to HOR, HOD and HOA schools.
In Limpopo, Coloured learners were registered in large numbers at DET schools at 82.8%, the second largest number at HOR schools at 8.5%, the third largest number at HOA schools at 6.9% and the lowest number at HOD schools at 1.8%.
The majority of Coloured learners in Limpopo were attending DET schools, and there was notable movement of Coloured learners to HOA schools and some movement to HOD schools in this province. The incidence of the movement of Coloured learners to DET schools was reasonable.

The majority of African learners in Limpopo were registered at DET schools, the majority of Coloured learners at DET schools, the majority of Indian learners at HOD schools, and the majority of White learners at HOA schools.
It thus appears that learners in schools served by former departments still indicated the predominant group of the learners in Limpopo, except in the case of HOR schools, where African learners were in the majority compared to Coloured learners.
There was a reasonable movement of Black learners (African, Indian and Coloured learners) to HOA schools in this province compared to the movement of White learners to Black schools (DET, HOR and HOD schools).
