'One South Africa is left with no option but to approach the courts to safeguard the rights of parents, learners, educators and general schools' staff,' OSA spokesperson Dipolelo Moime said.

‘One South Africa is left with no option but to approach the courts to safeguard the rights of parents, learners, educators and general schools’ staff,’ OSA spokesperson Dipolelo Moime said.

Two days ago, Maimane escalated this proposal to a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa. On Wednesday, Maimane said the president had “failed to respond”. OSA said it would be working with advocate Dali Mpofu, and appealed for financial assistance to fund its proposed legal challenge. “We simply don’t believe they are ready. Thus, we believe the only way to protect people is to approach the courts. This will be our last resort. ”

Asked about the high-profile senior counsel’s involvement, he said: “Advocate Mpofu is our legal counsel and working with us on this court action.”Earlier this week, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said she understood the anxieties, concerns and fears around Covid-19 ahead of the phased reopening of schools on 1 June.

Sadtu calls for teachers across the country not to return to workProvinces across the country are not ready to reopen schools, and therefore no teacher should return to work this week, the SA Democratic Teachers Union said on Monday. Are they saying even teachers serving in schools that are ready, should not go to schools? Aba abafuni ukusebenza. All teachers have been paid their full salaries. Generally, like all of us, had to have masks and hand soap. The schools have been vacant for 60 days so there's no virus at schools. Fire the ungrateful lazy teachers who havent showed up for work. If the government is struggling/dragging its feet to provide healthcare workers with adequate, proper PPEs, why is the department of education so adamant that it is ready to deal with Covid-19?
