The education of an African child cannot be negotiated or postponed. This is according to Gauteng Premier, Nomvula Mokonyane.

Mokonyane, whose comments follow last week’s protest by Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) members who disrupted classes demanding appointment letters be signed for their preferred principals, was addressing members of school governing bodies and parents at the Soweto College of Education.
