North West MEC, DA must stop cheap politicking and spreading untruths about Schweizer-Reneke and Stilfontein schools
21 January 2019
North West MEC for Education, Sello Lehari, must stop his cheap politicking by using the situations at Schweizer-Reneke Primary School and Stilfontein High School and the DA would do well to play open cards with the public about their share in the Schweizer-Reneke debacle.
Lehari is pouring petrol on the fire by refusing to disclose the report regarding Schweizer-Reneke Primary School and by constantly insinuating that more suspensions may follow due to supposed racism - this is extremely detrimental to racial relations in South Africa.
The FF Plus is challenging Lehari to disclose his report at once in order to provide the school's staff with certainty regarding their immediate future and so that they can plan counteractions, if need be.
Concerning the DA, the party is being hypocritical in trying to backtrack and cover up its share in the matter. The DA refuses to repudiate and discipline its provincial youth leader, Luyolo Mphithi, for his actions and is trying to create the impression that he only went to the school in an attempt to determine the truth of the matter.
