WCED reaction to court judgment
We note today's judgment in the high court rescinding the court interdict made on Friday.
At no stage has the WCED attempted to shirk its responsibilities for its employees and learners involved. We share the real concerns of our teachers and our learners.
The WCED's application in court was done for two reasons:
1. To make sure that all the relevant Government agencies are included in the court application. Ie. SAPS, Department of Community Safety and the City of Cape Town.
2. To immediately amend impracticable aspects of the order. Ie. That the more unrealistic demands on an education department, such as ensuring safe passage of people through Manenberg.
