hows about some dignity all around? nothing quite as stimulating as the uncomfortable truths.

And we conclude a powerful March against the unplaced learners in the Western Cape Province. South Africa remember the faces of these young people. Like the court said @WCEDnews fix your admission policy now to avoid excluding more vulnerable learners. #sofundasonke

[Protest Action]
📍Church Square
We are protesting for black learners in the Western Cape to be urgently placed in schools. It is disgrace that today on the 15th June 2026 we still have over 50 unplaced learners and their parents are with us today! #SofundaSonke

[Education Series] 🚨 Our March–April 2026 Education Series is out now!
This month we confront water & sanitation in KZN schools. 31+ years into democracy, learners still use broken, unsafe toilets. Unacceptable.

@budgetjusticesa townhall – ‘Starvation and Hunger levels shocking in SA – 30% of households in SA are food insecure – 1 in 4 households in SA need to send someone out to beg – social spending is critical investment’. Increasing VAT increases the violation of these.
@IEJ_SA @budgetjusticesa The actual tax bill on companies in SA is 18% - very low in global terms. Add the money lost due to illicit financial flows – mining sectors. This is where government should focus, not on increasing tax on the poor.

BUDGET 2025 | The IEJ has always strongly opposed increasing VAT. VAT is a tax on the poor…even if certain items are zero-rated. There are many other revenue-raising options. For transformation & justice, the wealthiest can & must contribute more.
@equal_education 's Mahfouz - Social spending is a vital tool for development. It is too narrow to only look at investment to benefit business and profits, we are calling on government to invest in people, in good lives.

#ClassOf2024, the wait is nearly over! At 6pm tonight, Basic Edu Minister @Siviwe_G will take the podium to announce the matric results. This moment is the culmination of 12 years of hard work and dedication you have invested. #MatricResults2024

3/3 Worse still, austerity makes our public sector vulnerable to predatory private interests. Companies swoop in, promising efficiency but often delivering exploitation. #MTBPS2024 #StopEducationBudgetCuts

This crisis extends beyond Western Cape. Provinces struggle to fill existing teaching vacancies due to budget constraints. There were 68,786 unfilled vacancies in 2022/23. Without adequate planning and funding, we're failing an entire generation. #SifunaUkufunda #MTBPS2024

[WATCH]: Equaliser members reflect on @WCEDnews decision to cut 2,407 teaching posts next year. Budget cuts will not only worsen conditions in classrooms, but affect the entire education system🎥 #StopEducationBudgetCuts #MTBPS2024

More than 2000 @equal_education Equalisers vote with their voices for #EducationJusticeNow from political leadership.
