South Africa: Student Union Threatens to Close Schools Across SA Over Covid-19 Fears

Obiajulu Joel Nwolu

The Congress of South African Students (Cosas) have said the body will be “shutting down all schools over SA” from Monday.

The union said in a statement, “We want to put it on record that we are not giving anyone an option but we are taking a radical approach, we will save the lives of innocent scholars by hook or crook.”

Cosas said it would mobilise at a school in Cape Town where it believed a Covid-19 case had been reported, “from there we will move to any other school that is operating”.

 

This comes after recent reopening of schools in South Africa. Cosas is believed to be of the view that school reopening amid corona virus threat is undue.
