Pandor: No More 'Apartheid' Excuses
Minister of Education Naledi Pandor has said that officials and administrators in the Department of Education can no longer play the ‘Apartheid!’ card when quizzed on why they’re not performing.
Some cite apartheid. I acknowledge that the legacy of apartheid continues to affect us, but it no longer serves to explain continued failures on our part. Others cite inadequate resources. Yet, given our budget, this is also no longer a persuasive argument.
That’s kind of refreshing to hear from a cabinet minister, we’ll see if other departments start expressing the same sentiment.
