Lesufi said he was aware of trends from organizations like AfriForum that selectively believe they can defend people who are doing the wrong things.
“We can’t just sit back and say it’s normal. If one court finds them guilty and another court does not find them guilty, there is another court that must prove whether they are guilty or not and we urge the NPA to go and address that matter urgently, ”said Lesufi.
Lesufi said that he would monitor this case.
“There is a trend in this country where racists believe they can do whatever they want. They can get into police vans. They can undermine the law, go to court, intimidate the magistrate, and do whatever they want. That time is up. “
Meanwhile, AfriForum said the “chaotic and ineffective” school placement process for the 2021 academic year was proof that the department was unable to fulfill this role effectively and that student placement should be managed by the students themselves. schools.
He said Lesufi should focus on quality education rather than petty attacks on the AfriForum regarding issues that have nothing to do with education.
Natasha Venter, AfriForum adviser on educational rights, said that the online registration system, as well as the placement process, had caused many problems again, as in the past.
“Some parents, for example, contacted AfriForum after receiving messages that their children had been assigned to their second or third choice of school, while the first choice school had already accepted that child on their placement list.
“This creates the impression that the first-choice school is already full, whereas these children will actually attend another school,” Venter said.
He said this could mean that affected schools will not be filled to capacity.
“So it seems to AfriForum that the Gauteng education department is trying to manipulate the process,” Venter said.
Venter said AfriForum will continue to pressure the department to give more power to schools and government bodies to handle their own school placements.
