Stop using schools for cheap politicking

WHAT a disgrace for the principal of Badirile High School in Khutsong, west of Johannesburg, to allow Julius Malema, who is not a state representative, to disrupt schooling.

WHAT a disgrace for the principal of Badirile High School in Khutsong, west of Johannesburg, to allow Julius Malema, who is not a state representative, to disrupt schooling.

In what official capacity did Malema address pupils there? Surely the ANC Youth League i patently remains a political party and so does Malema.

How can we expect good results from our pupils when their learning time is being hijacked to accommodate cheap politicking. Who can be inspired by a person who himself failed matric.

It is things like these that explain why our matric results are so poor. It is caused by principals who disregard our children's rights to education to appease political masters.
