Pupils, teachers voice fears, concerns about proposed phased re-opening of schools
Mhlanga said, until such date and schedules are determined, all schools including independent schools must remain closed.
Motshekga has already indicated her plan on how schools would reopen and, until a final decision is made, no school may open.
Motshekga earlier announced that office-based workers would gradually return to work from 4 May, school management teams to go back on 11 May, and teachers on 18 May.
The proposed date to start the gradual return of pupils is 1 June 2020.
Next week, Motshekga is expected to brief the National Coronavirus Command Council about her enhanced recovery plan for basic education based on inputs and feedback received thus far.
