After traditional leaders told President Cyril Ramaphosa that they were not happy with the department of education's plans for sex education in schools, the president said he would talk to the minister.
Cape Town - President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised he will meet with the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga to discuss complaints surrounding the department's Comprehensive Sexuality Education .
This follows a complaint by traditional leaders in Parliament on Thursday during the debate on the opening of the National House of Traditional Leaders.Motshekga had previously said CES would help deal with the problems of the abuse of children. There were a number of children who were raped and killed, and CES would form part of the programme to deal with this crisis, the department has argued.Ramaphosa said he was appalled by some of the things traditional leaders had raised on the matter. “There is clearly a need for an engagement between traditional leaders and the department of basic education,” said Ramaphosa.Political Bureau
