Social media wants DBE to know celebritiesarenotteachers
South African celebrities, along with the department of basic education, found themselves at the centre of a media storm over the Easter weekend over reading sessions that were virtually hosted by a number of South African personalities.
The “book club” is one of the many initiatives launched by the department in an effort to keep children learning and working during the global pandemic and subsequent lockdown period aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19.
The book club, however, is separate from these lessons and caters solely for learners in grades R to 3. Mhlanga said the department was not involved in the selection process for the influencers and celebrities that were chosen to host some of these reading sessions. Among the personalities and politicians chosen for this initiative were the likes of Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, Pearl Modiadie, Mohale Mhlongo-Motaung, Somizi Mhlongo-Motaung, Penny Lebyane, and Tumi Sole.
I love how Ndlozi said 2/20=10 and then went on to say the common denominator is 10 with his whole chest????. Look at your celebrities
