Guest: Jace Nair-- CEO of Blind SA

Blind SA and the Equal Education Law Centre (EELC) have taken the Gauteng Department of Basic Education to court over severe allegations of neglect, abuse, and unsafe conditions at Filadelfia Secondary School. The case, set to be heard on 26 May 2025, follows complaints from parents and learners about sexual harassment, inadequate teachers, and dangerous infrastructure. Despite efforts to seek intervention, the department has failed to address these issues. The case highlights the broader systemic failures faced by learners with disabilities, underscoring the urgent need for legal reforms to protect their rights and dignity.
