KwaZulu-Natal education MEC Sipho Hlomuka has slammed a recent misleading and dangerous narrative about foreigners which recently disrupted education at a Durban school.
Speaking at Addington Primary School on Thursday, the site of protests by the March and March movement, Operation Dudula and the MK Party over the alleged admission of foreigners at the exclusion of more than 60 local pupils, Hlomuka said the issue had created social conflict.
There were week-long protests and clashes between the lobby group and foreigners, which required the intervention of police, who used stun grenades and water cannons to disperse crowds last week.
