Deputy Chair, on behalf of the ANC I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter dismay that the principal of Bona Lesedi Secondary School in Mahube Valley, Mamelodi East in Gauteng sent learners home because of their inability or failure to pay a R50 donation, of which R30 was for the school's anniversary celebration and R20 for purchasing chairs;
2) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms such blatant disregard of the policies and norms of the Department of Basic Education by the principal; and
3) calls on the MEC for education in the province to intervene and ensure that the principal is brought to account.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
