Mshengu went on to speak about alcohol abuse by teachers and pupils, saying that the resumption of alcohol sales would be a major problem.

“There are some teachers who don't respect being teachers who only remember on Monday that they are teachers. There are a handful of teachers like that, if you were to meet them at the weekend you would deny that they are teachers. The reopening of alcohol sales will make things very complicated,” he said.

His comments received major backlash from teachers on social media who said that the MEC had basically referred to them as “drunkards”.
