Afrikaner author, publisher and commentator Dan Roodt calls Lesufi non-‘South African’ ‘racist’

Posted on Leave a comment

Afrikaner author, publisher and commentator Dan Roodt took to Twitter on Thursday to call out Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi on his vow that names of historical leaders, used for example in Hoërskool Hendrik Verwoerd in Tshwane, would be replaced by new ones.

The education MEC says he will take the author ‘to the cleaners’ and that he ‘will apologise’ for saying the MEC is not a South African. Roodt accused Lesufi of making “racist statements about Afrikaans and Afrikaners”.

“What right does this racist have to remove Verwoerd’s name from anything? Lesufi is isn’t even South African! (sic),” Roodt tweeted.

In a video posted on social media earlier on Thursday, Lesufi maintained that names such as Verwoerd would continue to fall until there were no names reminding South Africans of the past.

The first sentence of Roodt’s tweet reads: “Verwoerd never slighted any racial or language group in South Afri

Over 250,000 Undocumented Pupils In Gauteng Schools – most of them migrants from neighbouring countries

Posted on Leave a comment

JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi on Wednesday said provincial schools were catering for more than 250,000 undocumented pupils.

Lesufi made the comment as he delivered his submissions before the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) inquiry looking into service delivery problems in Alexandra.

The hearing was launched following protests over a lack of services in the township.

The investigation was testing a range of matters including the root causes of the Alex shut down earlier this year and possible maladministration in the controversial multimillion-rand Alex Renewal Project.

In his oral submission, Lesufi revealed how the admissions of non-documented learners affected his department’s budget.

“It’s R18,000 per learner, that is the amount that we spend. So, if you check 250,000 [learners] and times that by R18,000, that is the amount of money that we are losing,” he said.

Hoërskool Driehoek: Parliamentary answer confirms the negligence of Lesufi – ordinary people and learners had to suffer because ANC did not rule for all and target minorities for their own defects

Posted on Leave a comment

The FF Plus learned with shock, but without surprise, that infrastructure inspections at the Hoërskool Driehoek  were done only on 8 April 2006, 20 September 2006 and 8 April 2014.

In response to a FF Plus question in parliament, the minister of basic education acknowledged that the last investigation was conducted in July 2018 as part of an investigation to determine the school size capacity.

“It is clear that inspections are done sporadically and not at sensible intervals,” said Adv Anton Alberts, FF Plus premier candidate for Gauteng and party chairman.

“Even more shocking is that the last infrastructure inspection was merely part of Panyaza Lesufi, Gauteng Education MEC ,’s politically motivated initiatives to destroy Afrikaans schools by failing to take in non-Afrikaans-speaking schools. .

“It is also clear that the so-called infrastructure inspection that coincided with the school size inspection was

Well, MTN ‘cuts all ties’ with Afrikaans is Groot concert due to Steve Hofmeyr association, are they scared of the truth in his songs

Posted on Leave a comment

The company says AIG is not helping bring people together by including the controversial singer in its lineup.

MTN responded to calls on social media to pull out its sponsorship of Afrikaans music concert, Afrikaans is Groot (AIG), after its inclusion of controversial musician Steve Hofmeyr in this year’s line-up.

The show is scheduled to take place from March 14 to 17 in Cape Town at the Grand West Casino, and in Pretoria at the Sun Arena at Time Square Casino in November and December later in the year.

However, their line-up caused an uproar on social media after Hofmeyr was included, with some tagging MTN on tweets that were seen to be racist.

Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi also took to social media to call on MTN to withdraw from the concert if it was serious about dealing with racism in the country. He used Hofmeyr’s tweet in which he said black people were the architects of apartheid.
