The current government administration continues to disappoint the nation in regard to racism.
We might blame elderly white citizens for not engaging with their children that racism is a crime against humanity.
But, the buck must be directed to government for not rooting out this deviation.
I’m challenging the Department of Education to do what is required.
Don’t negotiate for a black child to be treated as a human being as if it’s a favour that must be granted by a white child.
How many times must Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi become a priest? He is not employed to beg white people to treat black people as equals.
The government must emphasise that all languages must be equal as well as streamline education in the township, rural and urban areas.
It must also ensure we have white teachers in townships. It should make it compulsory for schools to teach one African language. It’s also important that the government encourages black teachers that their own kids must not undermine township schools.
The frustration is that black people do not even send their kids to kasi schools, and this trend has made the situation worse.
Let’s amend the Constitution regarding the education system.
