The appointment of a Democratic Alliance (DA) minister to take charge of our childrens education made me meditate on Steve Bikos seminal words,
The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
Workers, their families and all progressive forces should rightfully be trepidatious as DA MPs take over some key portfolios as part of the agreement to form a coalition government with the ANC and a few other parties.
In a very significant move, the ANC handed the Department of Basic Education to party of the oppressors, the DA, and with it, the key to the minds of our children.
