"Sending learners to school during winter, when infections will be increasing, is similar to committing a genocide," Mahlobogwane told SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE. "It cannot be that we risk people's lives to test waters. The minister should be prioritising lives over the curriculum," said Mahlobogwane.

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. Big surprise. SADTU has never been interested in children's needs or education anyway. Even black parents know better and prefer non-SADTU teachers. PS: No work, no pay. These SADTU parasites are welcome to stay at home, but then their salaries should be taken away. Why should the private sector pay for these useless parasites' nice paid vacation? Then NO work NO pay should apply DBE_SA

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?
