EFF provincial leader Shadrack Tlhaole says they will take a firm decision on the case. “We don’t need to close that institution, but we need to take a firm decision. We need to pressure the Department of Education, MEC and Minister and all other political parties that we should not tolerate racism in South Africa.”
