WAS GOVT MISINFORMED PRIOR TO RELIGIOUS BAN?

MANZINI- Could government have been misinformed prior to implementing the religious ban in schools?

This is one question that various religious leaders have.
As such, some of the leaders have resolved to send a delegation to the Ministry of Education and Training to engage them in a bid to make right any misinformation they had about other religions. ased in South Africa, Educational Consultant Ahmed Mukadam, suggested to the church leaders who were present on Friday during the Interfaith Dialogue that they choose people who were respected and known to the government to organise a meeting with the Ministry of Education and ask what the reasons were behind their decision. 

“If the government is being fed information that is incorrect, make it right. Ask what the problem is, ask what their fears are, ask how those fears can be solved, ask if they thought this decision was practical especially in the world that we live in,” Mukadam said.

He advised that the engagement between the parties be open and continuous and involve other ministries as well. He shared how in the beginning of democracy in South Africa, it was resolved that religious groups would be involved in the country’s decision making processes provided that human rights were not taken away.
