Angie Motshekga
Uit die dieptes van die rommelhoop wat voorheen die regering se skoolstelsel was klink nou oproepe op om alternatiewe opsies nekom te draai. Moeders wat ook intellektuele en sakeleiers is, soos Mampela Ramphele en Wendy Luhabe, verklaar egter dat ons skole nou swakker is as die destydse Bantoe-onderwys.

Dit is slegs sommige van die "riglyne en kriteria" wat die LUR op tuisskolers in Gauteng wil afdwing.
