Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi says that even with a three-month grace given to concerned parties to engage on two clauses of thelittle will change. Lesufi welcomed the signing of the BELA bill by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Union Buildings in Pretoria today, saying that despite the protestations of some political parties, the legislation is now an official reality.
“There is nothing new that will be presented on the table as eight of nine provinces approved this bill. This bill went through public participation; this bill went through parliament; this bill allowed members of parliament to vote and they voted, but if there are some people who want to express a view. We thank the President for giving them the opportunity. But the bill is signed. The bill is law. It is no longer a bill. It is an act of Parliament that must be adhered to,” says Lesufi.
The clauses relate to the rights and responsibilities of School Governing Bodies including language policy and admissions.DA National Spokesperson Willie Aucamp says the issue is not being handled in good faith.
