'Our kids are discriminated because of Afrikaans' - EFF members
17 January 2018
Johannesburg - The EFF and a parent were involved in a brawl on the first day of school during a protest outside Hoërskool Overvaal in Vereeniging on Wednesday morning.
Members of the EFF said black children in Vereeniging are being discriminated against at Hoërskool Overvaal because of Afrikaans.
"You will know that the majority of people residing in this area are blacks, but those who are enrolled here are lily white," EFF member Azwi Tshitangano said.
"After 23 years of democracy, this is not going to happen on our watch", Tshitangano said.
