JOHANNESBURG - Sonke Gender Justice on Thursday called on the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, to go a step further and take firm action to discipline the national department of basic education spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga.
The pictures had captions such as reading is "therapeutic", "relaxes the mind, body and soul" and "feels good". In defence of his controversial tweets, Mhlanga tweeted that he was "pushing boundaries" saying "I have previously used the same images in 2016, 2017 and 2018 to promote the reading campaign".
"That said, Mhlanga should have been well aware that there was no room for the kind of images that he used recently." It said it detracted from the objective of the campaign and instead it devalued women's bodies and taught developing boys that it was right to sexualise women and girls.
