EFF Slams Ramaphosa for Alleged Compromise on BELA Bill, Cites Betrayal of Educational Equity Goals

EFF Slams Ramaphosa for Alleged Compromise on BELA Bill, Cites Betrayal of Educational Equity Goals

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have launched a scathing critique of President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing him of bowing to “white racist interests” in the handling of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill. Initially introduced to address South Africa’s deep-rooted educational inequalities, the BELA Bill aimed to champion mother-tongue instruction, particularly in African languages, as a means of fostering inclusivity and dismantling apartheid-era disparities.

EFF’s Allegations

The EFF alleges that behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and other white interest groups have diluted the transformative intent of the bill. They claim the DA and its allies have resisted changes that would diminish Afrikaans’ privileged position in schools, perpetuating its use as an exclusionary tool.

“This sabotage undermines the BELA Bill’s promise to promote equity in education and reflects an ongoing compromise of the black majority’s rights to preserve white privilege,” the EFF stated.

Historical Context of the BELA Bill

The BELA Bill sought to address the linguistic inequities in South Africa’s education system, prioritizing African languages to ensure equitable access for all learners. By expanding the use of native languages in classrooms, the bill aimed to reverse decades of systemic exclusion rooted in apartheid policies.

EFF’s Broader Concerns

According to the EFF, the alleged concessions made by Ramaphosa signal a broader trend of prioritizing the interests of minority elites over the aspirations of the black majority. They argue that this betrayal of the BELA Bill represents a missed opportunity to dismantle entrenched racial hierarchies in education.

“This is not just about language; it is about justice and equality,” the EFF emphasized, urging the government to recommit to fostering a truly inclusive educational framework.

Call to Action

The EFF has called on civil society, educators, and political leaders to hold the government accountable for safeguarding the original intent of the BELA Bill. They urge a united effort to challenge any measures that undermine equity and to ensure that the bill fulfills its transformative promise.

As debates over the BELA Bill continue, its fate remains a litmus test for South Africa’s commitment to redressing historical injustices in education.
