One South Africa leader Mmusi Maimane believes it is better to lose the school academic year than to lose lives.
Maimane, together with his One South Africa movement, is appealing against a judgment of the full bench of the North Gauteng High Court which dismissed his application to bar schools from reopening.
“The applicants only requested that schools should remain closed until the safety of children, teachers and others could be demonstrably safeguarded. “It is, with respect, no exaggeration to rank this as arguably the most urgent application which has ever served before our courts. The respondents themselves put the SA population at 57.7 million.
But Maimane said the government had failed to prove that even a single one of the criteria have been met.
