‘One South Africa is left with no option but to approach the courts to safeguard the rights of parents, learners, educators and general schools’ staff,’ OSA spokesperson Dipolelo Moime said.
Two days ago, Maimane escalated this proposal to a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa. On Wednesday, Maimane said the president had “failed to respond”. OSA said it would be working with advocate Dali Mpofu, and appealed for financial assistance to fund its proposed legal challenge. “We simply don’t believe they are ready. Thus, we believe the only way to protect people is to approach the courts. This will be our last resort. ”
Asked about the high-profile senior counsel’s involvement, he said: “Advocate Mpofu is our legal counsel and working with us on this court action.”Earlier this week, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said she understood the anxieties, concerns and fears around Covid-19 ahead of the phased reopening of schools on 1 June.
