The ONE MOVEMENT SOUTH AFRICA which is led by the former Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane has today taken the Department of Basic Education to court to stop the reopening of schools that are scheduled for next week Monday for grade 7 and 12 pupils.

The Constitutional Court of South Africa has all of that the application for direct access to the Court on an urgent basis is dismissed. which left the Department of basic education with another victory over the reopening of schools.

Although the Constitutional Court has dismissed the application to block the reopening of schools on the 8 June Mmusi Maimane says it did not mean a loss for his organization and that they could approach a lower Court to hear the matter.

The former democratic alliance leader says the reason behind the Court application is the unreadiness of schools and the safety of learners. He insists that schools will not be ready to reopen next week as the Minister of Basic Education has announced.

Maimane is not the only one who is concerned about the reopening of schools next week, some teachers unions also shared the same sentiments as him.

Schools were meant to be open on the 1 June but Motshekga changed her decision in the 11th hour.

The Department of Basic Education said 90% of schools will be ready to reopen by next week June 8th. The Western Cape province has already reopened schools and it is the only province that was ready to reopen.

Motshekga did assure the nation that nope parent is forced to send their children to school if they are concerned about their safety.
