Gauteng premier’s Swahili, Mandarin announcement for schools more political spectacle

Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi.

Imagine your car’s engine packs up and you stumble on the perfect solution — brand new wipers with colourful side-mirrors that everyone can see.

Not in the world of social or, in this case, educational policy.

A policy is not always meant to be implemented.

In the case I will represent, policy offers a powerful symbolism wielded in the hand of unscrupulous politicians.

It is meant as a distraction from real problems by appealing to our emotions.
