Parents, Cosas join forces to stop govt's 'irrational' reopening of schools | azarrahk

"It is specifically disputed that the DA is genuinely acting in the public interest in this particular case. It represents section and sectarian interests," he said in his affidavit. Kekana added poor school infrastructure, implementing social distancing, testing and protective equipment, staffing levels, consultation with all parties, sanitation and transport all posed a problem to reopening the schools.In her address on reopening schools this week, Motshekga said 1 577 schools had been vandalised across the country.
