Kopenang Africa backs the Education Department circular protecting migrant learners

# Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia welcomes the Department of Basic Education’s directive prohibiting vigilantism and violence in and around schools. The organisation says the circular reaffirms every child’s right to education, regardless of nationality or documentation status. It urges provincial education departments, schools, and communities to ensure the directive is fully implemented. They also call on the public to reject vigilantism, saying immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the state and must be carried out within the law.
