It was bound to happen. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga would get it the worst.
Bone-chilling news reports that France has had to shut down more than 600 schools in the wake of a spike in Covid-19 coronavirus infections are not helping. It speaks of enduring class schisms. The white elephant of an elitist government often accused of having taken the finger off the nation’s pulse is again brought to the fore.Images come up of overcrowded classrooms, textbooks that don’t arrive on time and feeding scheme budgets that run out midyear.Months after that incident, proper toilets had still not been put up at his school.
Crises are made up of unpopular decisions. Nelson Mandela, for one, is said to have been a grandmaster in this style of emotive leadership. That this is a slap in the face of the impoverished learner with no means to home schooling and water off a duck’s back to his middle class counterpart says more about government’s posture on socioeconomics than anything else.
This is disappointing
Such disrespect content Do you bark?
why did you even publish this. She is not barking, she's not a Dog. She is an Intelligent Black women. When will this nonsense of downgrading people especially black women stop.
It is in your hands🤣
Journalism they call it 🙄 Opinion pieces that put emotions into their reports 😬 I can also do this musi🤔
She is ike that . We are used to her
This headline is trash just this tabloid .... does a human bark -
The disrespect 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Barks?
Now a whole govt minister is 'barking' like a dog. Our media kodwa!
Show some respect ✊🏽 please
Angie must fall for disrespecting us
Despicable
Barks!?!?! This is a whole minister
Whoever wrote this should be fired for disrespect. Imagine saying umntu omdala is barking, just because you don't agree with what they are saying.
But Phakamisa Mayaba writes trash about Africans. Disgusting and true to whatever white-proximity brand.
A blistering missive against uncaring apparatchiks. Indeed.
A serious missive against uncaring apparatchiks.
Thanks minister
hau weh city press ?
Who is this Phakamisa Mayaba?
Barks?
Is this a fucking joke?
The media has always been like this. The problem is that you did not feel it when you were part of those insulting.
Africans disrespected daily....
Report this disrespect
Report this tweet
Bathi barks like how-how yoooh
Mmago maan... Jou teef.
Which one?
Wow! 'Barks' So you're calling her a dog? That's defamation of character.😤 just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean you have a right to be disrespectful and demeaning.
I think there's a problem with language here. In English when you say someone barks it means they are giving instructions that have to be followed without dissent. It is not a racial slur, nor is it derogatory. I really don't understand the replies to this article.
So....?
When did I the barking happen? I missed that ☝️
Wow... Yazi you are so unpredictable shame 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guys. Barking is an English expression and is not racist at all. You can look it up if you want more details. I understand why some of you may think that it wasn't the right word to use but you should not interpret it LITERALLY. Do not make everything about race.
Barks ngu nyoko msunuwakho
Barks?
Mayaba wa tella
Guys but Angie was literally rude about it.
A whole person is said to be barking? Are you seriously comparing them to a dog? A reputable newspaper like yours is saying that?
Barks? Wow you're so disrespectful
Kukhonkotha wena fuckin swine flue.
Amihloniphi nie
This arrogant leadership is annoying 🙄🙄
So kahle kahle you are calling a black woman a dog?
'barks' Highly inappropriate Very very rude
Barks?
Barks? Really? Barks? I dont care if this is a figure of speech but NO it is plain rude. You must have a respectful manner at delivering your views Phakamisa Mayaba! Who raised you? Shame on you!
This kind of language is distasteful to read. The person who wrote this has no respect for human beings. They went all out to get our attention for the garbage they wrote here.
Barks?
Barks pho?
Delete!!
This is disrespectful. Barks
No one is listening to her anymore. Let MEC of Gauteng take over the responsibilities of National Basic Education. This has become imminent.
SAEditorsForum is this a conduct you preach?
Hell, if our citizens don't learn from this government then all that's not good that's happening to them is deserved. Politics is way past a racial excuse. We now in a dictatorship,so save DEMOCRACY AND VOTE FOR A PARTY OF YOUR CHOICE WHO RESPECTS YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't compare Mam Angie to a dog, and instead used the word 'bark' as a euphemism. But this is the City Press we're talking about, so I won't.
Have the only thing I could do, which was to report the tweet. No matter how much you disagree with her, dehumanizing her is no acceptable. Opinion piece or not allowed its platform to be used to spew that hatred so you must take respondibility
Where is the respect?
DBE_SA please dont over look this disrespect, City Press has no respect.
Actually it’s time to block you for this trash!
This is disrespectful and totally unnecessary
Bathong Bark? Niyadelela in the name of hard punching journalism!
You are so disgustingly disrespectful, niyonyanyisa maan😡😡😡.
if there wasnt a travel ban our ministers would have flown their families off to a low-risk high-tech country. this is the first time an african politician is forced to stay with their constituents
So Mam Angie has been reduced to a dog siee maarn kaka journalism
What kind of reporting is this,minister is barking?
Barks?
Mme Angie is not a dog.
Why is she “barking” is she not speaking? Likening black people to animals isn’t new, get a new headline and stop this shit.
It's okay to have an opinion but there was no need to be disrespectful especially towards an elder.
So Angie is a dog, what kind of disrespect is this one?
Media Tribunal! Media Tribunal! Media Tribunal! Media Tribunal! Media Tribunal!
OneNation70290 Still to early to open schools. ( My Opinion)
Double edge sword of arrogance in words
So this Phakamisa thinks a Black woman is a dog? How direspectful! Steve_Mabona Lesufi
City Press must apologise. We are all frustrated that doesn't give anyone the right to refer to other ppl as dogs.
Oops... 📸 vsehunelo
barks ? are you fucking joking ?
Only dogs can bark does tht mean th minister is a dog?
Barks?.
Wow
Wow!
Barks?
Then she calls herself a leader idiot
Hai you can say she 'barks'. Thats wrong. Put your argument in a respectful manner bathong

DBE_SA please report this. take them to court or something. SAEditorsForum sebenzani bo !

SAEditorsForum hey Chief Come see Your So Called Journalist this side
You said, she barks, right? SAEditorsForum did you also see that? Do you agree?
Dear MYANC, I would like to sincerely apologise for rejecting your Polokwane resolution that there be an independent Media Tribunal. It is now the right time to regulate the media.
there are a thousand words to use, and you chose 'barks'
Imagine saying someone's mother/grandma barks! Intlonipho iyamakha umntu makwedini!
So basically you just said she’s a dog... reading between the lines.
City Press are you mad
Comrades Phakamisa Mayaba Must fall 'barks' really and nawe ke admin you write that! Umsuzo nje lo

This is low even for you!
She is doing what?!
if she was white would you have said she barks?
please show us some maturity and apologize to the minister for indirectly calling her a dog. This is disgusting!
Rude.
Is this how we refer to when a person make pronouncements... We say they 'bark' SAEditorsForum LandNoli ferialhaffajee AdriaanBasson
What level of disrespect is this
Barks? Wtf bazalwane?
Last I checked, a good journalist doesn't write according to how they feel. Cima fam
Journalists and opinion piece writers need to learn to criticize government without resorting to sexist, racist demeaning innuendos
Lo tlwaela Mme Angie ma-ada
Barks Barks? Beniza kahle ngathi sinyiyanya manje!!!
Barks? Really?
Most of us are strongly against the reopening of schools but to say angie_motshekga 'barks' is so inappropriate. SAEditorsForum must take action LockdownSA backtoschool Day62ofLockdown

Barks?! Really?!
Phakamisa mayaba are you proud of what you wrote? White people are using y’all as pawn against black people. As a black child is this what journalism mean to you? Our elders bark? The tone of your article very distasteful and rude!!!
Garbage journalism
Barks really? Agree to disagree. Don't hurl insults that mean to humiliate or diminish a person's character. Even for you, this is LOW. SAEditorsForum
So the Minister barks? Such disrespect . To even publish such a statement says a lot about your level of journalism.
Barks? Aninyi perhaps? Thankfully I cancelled my subscription to this shit publication
You are the pits City press. Your whole deplorable publication needs to be closed.
I know I am frastrated because of uncertainty but hei you have crossed the line , she is still human and by that virtue she must be respected.I mean what happened to editing the work before submitting for publishing
A person Barks?
City press calling our Mme maMotshekga a dog? It's only a dog that barks not human. This is absolutely wrong.
Barks
This is highly disrespectful.
Any parent that allows their child to go back to school while cases are increasing like crazy on a daily , does not love their child 💀
Barks? Like Barks like a Dog You're dizzy and disrespectful.
When you let your emotion get ahold of you, these are the kinda things you end up tweeting. Stop being emotional. Barks?
Barks? Are you really referring a black woman speaking to how dogs communicate?
content and context can at times be misunderstood by those writing and those reading. get content right first then you may reduce the number of people who misunderstand the context
'Barks?' This is disgusting even for your publication
I mean, journalism is dead but at least show some respect.
Barks?
Barks?
Barks? Phakamisa Mayaba you are disgusting. This is so rude rha sis.
Wow!!! Is this how we write these days? This deserves a sue!!! This cannot be freedom of speech or freedom of journalism. Disgusting

Haibo “Bark” ? That’s not nice.....Phakamisa is actually being rude.
Start writing an apology ASAP
Barks?!
Had you no better word to use either than 'Bark'
You must retract this piece and issue a public apology. As for bark.. such disrespect and the audacity to write such. Sies mahn!!
And this is written by a black person, scary
Barks? WA gafa?
SAEditorsForum i want to lay a complain
This chap is clearly angry at Mam’Angie😂
Your choice of words? Very demeaning!
Barks...?
Wow.
Was it necessary to use the word 'barks'? The minister has never ever barked. It's not even her personality type. These are racially sensitive tropes.
Woof!
oooooh Barks? okay!
Barks? This is so disrespectful 🚮
Angie is getting old her decision will cost thousands of lives,cabinet must replace her

Phakamisa Mayaba Msunu wakho
Admin, don't tweet when you are angry. It shows
Level 3 requires taking personal responsibility for choices made after risk assessment. We do this all the time. Do we drive to Durban for Easter? Do we take a medication that has side effects? Do we smoke/drink?
How rude of u Minister wenzantoni?
City Press u can better.she is our mother and respect for elders is sacrosanct.dont ever insult human beings like that.have u traded your morals urself to that of dogs?i sense so
Barks? Even if that's is what the Mayaba wrote, you really wanted to put that on blast on Twitter? Well that's one way to make sure no one will read the article
Ave nicwensa nina... Omama omdala useya khonkotha manje?
