Lerato Mbele speaks to Matakanye Matakanya, General Secretary of the National Association of School Governing Bodies. On Monday, Kobus Wiese, a former rugby player, took to Twitter to share news about an upcoming event at Laerskool Boshoek Primary. The school plans to host a gender swap day on March 8th, where girls will wear boys' uniforms and boys will wear girls' uniforms—presumably tunics. Although the school didn't elaborate on the reason behind this decision in the newsletter, it has stirred up quite a bit of debate and frustration online, with many parents expressing their discontent. While the tradition of "Guyfox" has been celebrated at the end of the year for some time, this particular event has sparked a broader conversation about the shift towards gender neutrality in early education and whether our society is prepared to fully embrace policies that promote inclusivity in schools. In this discussion, we aim to delve deeper into these topics.
