SITEKI- Lady Mabuza, the Minister of Education and Training, pleaded with the
pupils to refrain from protest actions and concentrate on their lessons.
The minister said pupils should focus on learning and leave politics to be
discussed by politicians. She noted that it was disturbing that the pupils
disrupted classes at a primary school (Nkhanini). “It is disheartening to
learn that even pupils at primary schools are being mobilised to join the
ongoing protests.
"Time was lost during the enforced COVID-19 measures by government and it is
disturbing that the little time they have is being wasted through such
activities that are not within their scope of learning. Let me emphasise the
importance of learning because exams are close by and they have to sit and
write, and missing out on lessons will be detrimental,” she said.
Superintendent Phindile Vilakati, the Chief Police Information and
Communications Officer, said police were called to calm the situation and
maintain peace and order.
