BELA Act | Calls for President to act against Gwarube

JOHANNESBURG - Save South Africa is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to take action against Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube. 

That's after she boycotted the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act signing ceremony.

The civic movement says this undermines the credibility of the legislation.

Gwarube has vowed to ensure the Act is implemented, despite her objections to it.

In line with her party, she says it's unconstitutional and should be sent back to Parliament.

The President has however deferred contentious admission and language policies for three months.

He says those who are opposed to it have this time to come up with workable solutions.
