Malema says Ramaphosa should’ve fired Gwarube for boycotting BELA Bill signing ceremony

by

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says President Cyril Ramaphosa should have fired Basic Education minister Siviwe Gwarube for boycotting the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill signing ceremony.

Ramaphosa signed the Bill into law at the Union Buildings on Friday, 13 September.

SHOULD RAMAPHOSA HAVE FIRED GWARUBE FOR BOYCOTTING BELA BILL SIGNING CEREMONY?

Ahead of the signing ceremony, Basic Education minister Siviwe Gwarube who is a Democratic Alliance (DA) member boycotted the signing ceremony citing concerns about the constitutionality of the language policies and the compulsory admission of learners to Grade R. 

“Parliament must be allowed to fix what is currently wrong with the Bill so that millions of learners across the country can access and receive quality education for a better South Africa,” she said.

The DA has always been opposed to the BELA Bill and after the signing, the party instructed its lawyers to prepare court papers challenging the process leading to the adoption of the Bill.

In an interview with the SABC on Tuesday, 17 September, EFF leader Julius Malema said Ramaphosa should have fired Gwarube because she brought the cabinet into disrepute.

“When you are there [cabinet] you are no longer serving the DA constitution but you are serving the South African constitution. This has failed in practical terms not even theory. The BELA Bill exposed these people for what they are; a marriage of inconvenience, a DA-led government. This is not an ANC-led government, Helen told you,” Malema said.

Further, Malema said the DA and ANC are still going to fight about the National Health Insurance (NHI) which was also signed to law just before the 29 May elections.
