DA’s high marks for Lesufi demonstrate the party’s disregard for Afrikaans
7 December 2018
The harder Panyaza Lesufi fights against Afrikaans, the more marks the controversial Gauteng MEC for Education scores with the DA.
The DA's premier candidate in Gauteng, Solly Msimanga, basically awarded Lesufi a distinction by giving him 75%. This follows after the DA 'rewarded' him with 60% in 2016 and 70% in 2017.
According to media reports, Msimanga was laying it on thick when he praised Lesufi's 'virtues'. Msimanga said that Lesufi has a clear vision of where he is going with the Gauteng Department of Education and that he is playing an 'important role' in 'modernising' education in Gauteng.
The FF Plus finds all this shocking given Lesufi's blatant hostility towards Afrikaans and Afrikaans schools in Gauteng and views it as a slap in the face of all Afrikaans-speaking people in Gauteng.
