03 July - Human Rights - EE calls on Education Minister to action
On sakhisizwe today, we heard from Doron
Isaacs - Coordinator at Equal Education. He was speaking to us about the two
recent pickets they held in protest of Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga
missing two deadlines in their court case. Equal Education hosted two
pickets last week Thursday and Friday in front of Parliament and on Sea Point
promenade respectively. Both pickets included an exhibition that explained the
school infrastructure crisis in South Africa and chronicled the history
of EE’s campaign for minimum norms and standards for school infrastructure. The
pickets followed Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga’s failure to file
her answering affidavit despite Equal Education (EE) granting her two
extensions. EE calls on the Minister to file her answering affidavit
immediately because to further delay the court case would be continuing to deny
South African learners the right to attend safe, secure and resourced schools. For
