JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi raised concerns over trade union Solidarity’s construction of an Afrikaans university in Pretoria, saying the idea was started “out of anger” wh

en universities across the country began changing their language policies to promote inclusivity.

Lesufi spoke to Cape Talk’s Kieno Kammies on Monday about the construction of the Afrikaans private vocational training college.

Lesufi’s motto:

Try channeling your anger towards something new that actually work Mr Lesufi? Maybe you need some anger management yourself!

Lesufi's argument is that Afrikaans was used for oppression. I'm sorry, but is English not also the language of colonialism, slave-trade and other forms of European oppression? Why are all the universities being 'transformed' through English?

Sy opinie dra geen gewig. 😀

Lesufi is ‘n Julius... Shame, I understand why he is angry and jealous, we are doing so much better with less and he cant stand it

Lesufi, sort out your Sadtu duds. The Afrikaners are building, not breaking... All the ANCvrotpatat and its band of merry looters has done is wreck education, along with everything else.

It is Afrikaans speaking peoples constitutional right to speak and study in their language of choice, just like for those who don't want to speak Afrikaans have a constitutional right not too do so. I cannot believe a grown man can behave like this. Gooie more Panyasi.....

Lesufi must focus on more pressing issues like, discipline, other pressing issues in his schools, instead of trying too pull the wool over our eyes. We all know he HATES the Afrikaans language with a passion. What ever does or says, AFRIKAANS IS HIER OM TE BLY.... IM ENGLISH. BTW

No you halfwit, the destruction of universities was started out of anger, but on that you are quiet.

Just compete with them instead of ranting and raving ,doing absolutely nothing for the African People.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Does this man ever think before he speaks 🙈

Show the proof. You manage a failed system, turning out semi literate people and instead of fixing that, say rubbish like this.

Looser!!!

Lesufi bit the dust with Overvaal high school in Vereeniging. The same principal applied. It's an Afrikaans school not a white school. Ask the many black students who graduated there.

Not at all. Started out of desperation.

As Jim Rohn put it there are two emotions that lead to pisitive change. Inspiration or disgust (anger at one's situation). Regrettably both seem to be in short supply in gvt.

Zulu people are running a campaign to restore their language,why it is wrong when Afrikaans speaking people want to preserve their language?they didn't ask a cent from government,what you should do is to ask them how to raise funds and build universities for indigenous people

Mr Lesufi solidarity is the union that uses money wisely,why don't you ask COSATU, NEHAWU, NUMSA etc to build universities for indigenous people? I personally support solidarity for the good work,whites don't directly benefit on BBBEE yet you fight them, stop your nonsense

Think he is just shit scared they will pull it off

I am beginning to understand that Lesufi has an agenda against Afrikaans. There are already institutions that offer Afrikaans as a medium of instruction & they don't exclude anyone on the basis of race, to assume that only whites speak Afrikaans is anti-African & racist.

Must for once agree with you: anger at the current standard of education in South Africa...

It was started to serve and preserve a language you dear racist Lesufi are determined to stamp out.

He is not fighting for isiZulu, isiXhosa, seTswana or any of our indigenous languages. He is fighting for English which is actually a foreign language. The language of the colonniser but he is one of the loudest voices decolonization choir. Janus

Lesufi is uninformed. Soltech started in 2006 and this is just a new campus. Soltech started since the Gov closed most technical training facilities. Soltech is just an Afrikaans speaking training facility, not a white facility. lesufi

He is the only angry one here ....

He is Easily the dumbest and most racist Cadre in the ANC

ANC has failed us as South Africans, now they're giving back Afrikaans to our future childrens second is we are competing with foreigners for opportunities that is very little, why MYANC is doing this to us. Please PresidencyZA command this that not to happen in RSA

How does the issue of pit toilets makes Lesufi a racist?

It is their money

Lesufi , you are seriously disappointing. Instead of encouraging, because it will assist your portfolio as Minister of Education, you make dumb stupid racist remarks. Are you an example to the most influential group of people namely' children'?

If I was you Devil's Advocate I would come with solution/s rather than problem. Why we are not going in the same direction,is because some of us are good at criticising than be a change agent. Let work together

So instead build a Zulu university... out of anger. Maybe that will help more people get educated unlike your tweets which do 0 Lesufi

And frustration

Quite sad actually.

It actually doesn't matter how it started, it's how it ends that's important.

Lesufi is such a blatant racist! He should sort out pit toilets in schools first before worrying about private afrikaans universities...

Bitterness!!!
