Decision to revoke assignment about clean water access stems from 'concerns about its potential influence on learners' voting behaviour'.

In less than three weeks, South Africa will hold the most crucial election in our country’s democratic history.

The memo reads: ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW “After careful consideration and discussion with relevant stakeholders, it has been decided to retract the Life Orientation project titled: Poor access to clean water. This decision stems from concerns raised regarding the potential influence on learners’ voting behaviour, as certain elements could be interpreted as advocating for specific political views or influencing learners’ voting decisions.
