Where? Where? Where?

54 Schools closed, some schools set on fire, 17 000 learners prevented from attending school for 2 months. All because a group calling themselves the Local Road Forum says that these acts are the only thing that will make government listen to their call to repair the roads in Kuruman.

Meanwhile all of this is happening in deafening silence. 
There is no outcry, no condemnation of this cowardly act against the lives and the wellbeing of our Youth. 

Where is the government???
Where is the Department of Basic Education???
Where are the Civil Society Organizations???
Where is Equal Education???
Where is SADTU???
Where is COSAS???
Where are the Religious and Community Leaders???
Where are the political parties???
Where is the ANC Youth League???
Where is the ANC Womens League???
Where is the Human Rights Commission???
Where is the media???
Why are we so silent??? 
This is a crisis!!! 
This is a disgrace!!!

To sabotage the lives of innocent young people is nothing less than treason.
“Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation. They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth, those who care for and protect our people.” 

Nelson Mandela. Who will protect our children??? I hang my had in shame!!!
