About 50 people protested outside the Western Cape provincial government building in Cape Town on Monday to demand the sacking of provincial education MEC Donald Grant.

Leading the protest were the ANC in the province and the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu). They wanted Grant to withdraw closure letters he sent to 27 under-performing schools, or face possible litigation.

They also wanted him to admit to what they claimed was his lying about a lack of textbooks and workbooks at various schools in Kraaifontein.
