On Friday, deputy basic education minister Makgabo Reginah Mhaule announced that schools, which were scheduled to reopen on January 27, will reopen on February 15 because of the increase in Covid-19 infections.

Basil Manuel, executive director of the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of SA , said when they met the department on Wednesday, there was no talk of a staggered return to school for members of the SMTs and teachers.

SA Democratic Teachers Union general secretary Mugwena Maluleke said they were not consulted about SMTs and teachers returning to school before pupils. Ben Machipi, general secretary of the Professional Educators' Union , said the rationale for asking teachers to return two weeks before pupils “defies logic”.

“This is done to provide relief to the health system which is already struggling to cope with the current demands. The new dates for the reopening of private schools will vary depending on the calendar they follow,” she said.

I went from being broke, homeless, and suicidal, to making $15k per week. My message to you is DON'T GIVE UP! Even when all seems impossible. I STILL work a regular job on top of my business because I’m scared to death to be homeless again. All thanks to DennisWillam77
