“The battle we are facing, and the reason why people are interdicting us, they believe a certain language is under threat. And I’m assuring them, there is no language that is under threat, but there is no super language. All languages will be treated equally, but if people want to use language to exclude others, we’ll fight that battle.”
AfriForum and Solidarity Movement’s School Support Centre said their legal representatives had sent an urgent letter to the department on May 6 about the failings of the online school registration platform. AfriForum’s Carien Bloem said earlier this week both organisations were concerned about the manner in which the online school registration platform was set up.
They claimed that according to the department, the system made no provision for parents to choose which school their first choice for their children was. The organisations said the school located geographically closest to the parents’ residential address was simply provided as the primary choice, irrespective of the school’s language medium of instruction, subject selection or even hostel options.
