Lesufi wants to establish racism-police to monitor all schools, teachers and learners
19 June 2020
Today in the Gauteng Legislature, the MEC for Education, Panyaza Lesufi, indicated that he wants to establish a committee that will closely monitor all schools, teachers and learners for any indication of racism.
The announcement was not planned, the MEC nonchalantly mentioned it in the course of a squabble between Lesufi, Adv Anton Alberts (FF Plus chairperson and MPL) and Amanda de Lange (FF Plus MPL and Chief Whip in the Legislature) during the Department of Education's budget vote debate.
The FF Plus is strongly opposed to any such policing body with the objective of spying on schools, teachers and learners. It is reminiscent of the Stasi security service of East Germany and it has no place in a free democracy.
It is, however, characteristic of the ANC's Marxist DNA, which stipulates that all aspects of society must be regulated down to the finest detail and those who do not want to conform must be persecuted and destroyed.
