Kwazi Mshengu's appointment as KZN Education MEC welcomed
Pietermaritzburg - Teachers unions have welcomed the appointment of Kwazi Mshengu, the chairperson of the ANC Youth League in KwaZulu-Natal, as the new education MEC in the province but the unions have wasted little time in challenging him to whip the department back into shape.
“KZN is the largest education department in the country with more than 6 000 schools and over 107 000 employees just in the education department alone and this comes with budget and infrastructure challenges. “We would also like to see the MEC dealing with the food nutrition programme in schools because it has been fraught with allegations of corruption and we would like to see all of this cleaned up.
