There is hope for our children, a breath of fresh air
Have you read what the DAs stance is?.
The problem with South Africans is that we are a country that is lazy to read. Nichazwa izinto ezingasile.
@@Nonkosi_Xaba I read it! Nothing wrong with it or did you listen to the lies from satu?
@@Nonkosi_Xaba She literally said she's not just looking to deliver her party's mandate.There's a bigger picture. Nawe ubofunda umamela mntwakuthi

Yes we are tired of these old politicians. Parliament is not a retirement home!

You SA's little darling. We support you all the way.
No she's not....we need to see her work ethic😂 We are not giving anyone any darling name just because they are from the DA!
@@remotrent7756
Good
@@remotrent7756anything is better than what was
Anything is better than angie.our education is the worst in Africa they are leaving matric stupid! Only good for an eff supporter😅
@@remotrent7756Why is SADTU so threatened? The secrets are going to be revealed. We are going to be shocked what comes out of the wood works. The school feeding schemes are no more, who stopped feeding our children? Why has that stopped, for our township?
I so like her attitude. She is not putting anyone down even those that have already started fighting her. Wishing her all the best.
I appreciated that too. Not a DA fan because I see how they don't really help everyone since Musi but I like this one. She should just watch her back... Her party is known for getting rid of black people from major post
I like Siviwe she's young, intelligent and motivated. I'm sure she will do a great job.
@@marcanthonyfranz - about time we have someone young and progressive. We need to stand alongside her and support her all the way.
SADTU keep your hands off our new minister! We will protect her like a lioness protects her cubs!
Praying for Siviwe! She has a lot of work ahead of her!
We need to check how many teachers are actually educated and can teach.
@@helenduplessis4166True we can't have under qualified lazy teachers
@@helenduplessis4166kumele sihlole Jona kutsi ngabe ufundzile na?😂😂😂
I'm an educator and I look forward to her leadership. Our education department is a mess. I wish we could have an overhaul of CAPS. Overcrowded with content and not enough time given to reinforce and ensure that learners understand what they have learned.
Consolidation of concepts, not ploughing through a massive curriculum overloaded with assessments. 30 in a class maximum, otherwise it's crowd control. Teach student teachers HOW to teach literacy and numeracy. Children should leave the foundation phase able to read and write and work with numbers. Those teaching student teachers should spend regular time teaching children IN schools to be aware of the challenges. Children deserve teachers who are well trained and passionate about making a difference.
@@patrohland5984 Exactly! I cannot imagine having 30 students in a class!
As a primary school teacher I am so excited for this new minister .
Dear Minister, kindly do something for the children with learning disabilities
I think they are neglecting them a lot, even the Autism children, because there's not a lot of schools for them. I hope they can really prioritize these schools.
You are so right @@MissSlenda
Definitely ❤❤
It's so important to have good teachers, however people learning disabilities require great teachers to shine a light and reveal their abilities.
I work at a special school and i love my job especially the learners who have now became my babies,but the department is failing us as they prioritize mainstream schools more then us.
You are awesome!!! I hope that the old ANC can learn from you. DA have really chosen fine leaders.
Learn what?

Good question

Who is not stealing? They are all opportunists njeeeee
SADTU HAS DEEPLY POLITICISED THIS DEPARTMENT, MY SISTER JUST KNOW THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNINGYOU NEED TO HANDLE THEM WITH NO KIDGLOVES, DO NOT RELENT WHEN IT COMES TO SADTU
I agree ! Innocent kids future and education is more important then old ppl and their person believes or desires.
SADTU is protecting their own interest, they dont care a hoot about teachers or learners.
As a teacher I HATE SADTU
@@okuhlediko7067 - i do to, as theyve not done anything for me or other teachers. But theyre the fat cats with the fancy cars and all the perks on our subscriptions.
@@okuhlediko7067 Makes the two of us
Employ At least 2/3 social workers per school to assist with the psycho-social issues such as Teenage pregnancy, Substance abuse, Trauma and mental health of our learners. This will alleviate stress from teachers and principals who are already overwhelmed. They are unqualified to deal with these issues, they will be able to focus on their mandate.
So true
First of all, if this woman is truly a minister, she will get the BELA bill scrapped. Our children must be taught SKILLS, not $€x. This CSE is from the pit of hell to rape the minds of innocent children and the problems you identified are the result of this cr@p they try to force into young, innocent minds thereby messing it up!!
Wow! Dynamic, erudite, rational, all her priorities in exactly the right place, there are no flies on this bright young minister! Sadtu doesn't stand a chance against her lol. She's diplomatic too, and positive while being realistic and humble. I just WISH we had more of her to go around! This is the calibre of ministers I was hoping for... good choice DA. Good choice voters. Keen to watch this space going forwards. Going to be exciting. I wish her the very BEST - we're behind you 101% Siviwe!
I like the fact that her priority is children not political cheap shorting which will get us no where all the best sisi wam
This is exactly what's needed to change the trajectory of our children's future. And well said, Not focusing only on the matric year, but from primary years to secondary. The future of education in South Africa looks BRIGHT!
This is great!! She gave me so much faith in her future plans and potential progress. It won’t be easy but younger ministers are required now.
She makes working in government sound so attractive 😭😭
Fresh thinking, new ideas and hope 👏👏👏
All the best or the young and diligent minister. Change is here and we support and we will be behind you as you navigate the challenges created by Angie and Sadtu. Siviwe, be reassured that SA is behind you. Do your best my girl , we trust you.❤❤❤
Good luck to our new minister of basic education❤️. It's your time, go out there and soar.✨
Please improve unemployed teachers🎉. Create JOB
There are jobs - you just don't know the right people unfortunately. And yes that must end because wowwwwww
@Boipelo_Lekwane can you help me please I have qualified Bachelors Degree in Education...how can you connect me than to right persons 🤗
@@StolojijimWhat are your subjects?

This has to be the most sensible appointment in years. Youth for Youth. Congratulations to the minister. As passionate and Youthful, unemployed teachers are looking forward to the impact the appointment of minister Gwarube will positively impact us.
What a wonderful young woman. My prayers are with you.
I think I am also excited for your appointment Minister. Looking forward to see change in the education system.
You go girl! The cadres in Satu are anxious,time to start working.
Absolutely.young people are required.
Your voice 😍 ❤️ 👌. You have my full support 100%
I support you Minister.
You like how she speaks English ?
All of the best Sister, we'll protect you against the bullies!!!
Wow awesome I can already see a blessed future for our children because our minister have the mind of a person who really wanted to see growth in our communities and our young people going forward in life wishing her all the best for the future of her wisdom that she's going to shared with those who really needed it thank you 💕💕 my sister god blessed you ❤❤
Fantastic!
Maybe there is hope.
The ANC has failed the African child.
Big time...
See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable- BusinessDay.
See - Impressive new school in the Western Cape, UA-cam. This is a beautiful new Kasi school!!
She must be given a chance, even the journalist are trying to create rift. Angie was there for long and the unions were not this negative...leaves alot of questions
Absolutely! What are some of them, do you think?
They should bring back subjects like needle work, woodwork, domestic science etc back into government schools for skills development,
Everybody is not academically proportioned,
Even skills development schools should be considered,for kids that has special needs,so that they can be aquiped to enter work market.
This lady must approach the Unions with the most respect and high hopes. Not with arrogance that she is in charge, or that she will open a bee house for ongoing strikes and problems. She must have a good relationship with these Unions. She must also understand she is not the boss, but a Minister for harmony.
@@AV_2303 well, although I agree that a minister isn't the boss per se, I also don't see why unions must hold the department hostage either. The former minister seems to have let the unions dictate to some degree. Remember unions aren't the bosses either!
What it comes down to is that all these role-players need to work together in the interests of the learners as theirs are paramount.
@@AV_2303The unions are not the boss either!!!What right do they have to dictate to the minister as to how she should do her job!!!Underperforming,failing,lazy, teachers must be fired and not protected by the union.
5 years is not enough. DA should fight to keep these same portfolios in 2029..this is probably the most important portfolio for our future
Thrilled to see DA young ministers in important posts. Bodes well for South Africa. Hopefully its the end of 30% and just pushing learners to the next grade. Wish you well minister.
How exciting that she has the learners interests as a priority. Wishing you well Siviwe,!!
We are still praying for nations, country, judiciary, leaders of our government, community, teachers, students, doctors, nurses , political parties,police ..I support you young woman..❤
Now Education Department will come right. ANC has destroyed our education system and SADTU is scared. They are crying foul already. We love you ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
@user-ej2rj6xu3c how was the education system before the ANC governance 🤔
@@etvscandalfanpage2011Bantu education for Black kids and whites had different education system from Blacks.
@@etvscandalfanpage2011good question
What an interview! What a minister. She is going to go far!
She, Siviwe, is diplomatic when Iman asked if Angie got stale I would have said YES
Yes- and this interviewer actually expected Siviwe to mention an aspect where she should praise Angie😮😮
Bring back sports in schools
In all schools for all children-not only for those who are good at sports.Physicsl Education should be reintroduced as a full year subject under the coaching of a specialized sports training teacher-where and if possible.(CAPS)did away with this.
If they can do away with this thing of progression of learners🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️ and also hire teachers bo
Progression is one of the biggest issues and challenges 🤞🏼
@@ayandatwala5323 thats why the % is low because learners are progressed to another class not knowing anything at all but you see someone in Matric because of the “progression criteria” the funny thing is that learners even know that🥺🥺😂😂🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️ they remain in school and not focusing on their school and expect to be taken to ai other grade…. Eeeeh kunzima siphile kabuhlungu and the department ilindele i magic lapho🥺🥺🙆🏾♂️ we have a looping way to go🙅🏿♂️
In South Africa we copy systems from other countries and expect them to work for us.
Angie spent her time there learning about the army, at least now we can move forward and improve our young ppls futures 🎉
The portfolio hasn't even been handed over yet, but this interviewer expects Siviwe to provide specific details of how she will administer the department? ANC mouthpiece?
God bless this dear lady as she drives her vision to ensure that our young learners are being educated in a dignified and correct manner.
The opening line about education being the biggest budget but the most dysmal is an indication of how inept and incompetent Motshekga is. ANC saw it fit to reward her with another critical portfolio. Also, I hope this lady will be allowed to do her job without political interference from her own party and others.
I hope she raises the pass mark to 50% for all subjects...the students will rise to meet that standard.
Please
🙏
I hope so too.. I can never fathom how people suggested and approved the 30%...shocking!
That's would be the best move, if she doesn't raise the pass mark then it will disappointing
The fact that the school system allows 30% but universities don’t ?? Setting us up for failure
Angie is the reason why SA education sector is stuffed.
Absolutely
What's going to happen in the defence ministry? 33 % protection.
@@angelabaxter6298😂😂😂 she said last night she's not there to be a soldier 😂😂😂

@@MissSlenda😂😅
Youngest minister on the cabinet, 34 years, a breath of fresh air🙌🏽🙌🏽
She has to turn things around please.
@@neom645 - she needs support and time.
She is smart... Let's support her🤸🏾♂️🤸🏿🤸🏿♂️🤸🏿♀️
Wow she is simply amazing! 🙏🇿🇦
Younger and Fresher ... lets never again have 65 plus year olds who havnt been in school for over 45 to 50 years trying to understand what students and teachers could be going through to make positive change.
@@havocthehobbit - we need education that goes back to the basics, reading, writing and arithmetic (maths) so many learners leave primary school and cant read.
@trudyneumann8945 . I agree. Neither do they know how to spell and write proper sentences!
Wow am so impressed
Been in Education sector for.some years and even.done sustainable development programs. I am so excited by her mentioning starting right at the beginning not focusing at exit grade 12.. like input through put and out put. Am so , so happy
Been preaching this from donkeys years back, some people just do not get it yet. Please Minister the.must be emphasis on this
We need more young leaders
Depolitisize teacher unions, they are too involved in cANCerizing education.
Angie has been a disaster, basically zero work done on her side, we have no accountability on the side of the anc
May I disagree with you.When Angie took over the curriculum was in a bad state .She had to introduce CAPS after that obe and ncs
They’ve forgotten bayeke let’s wait and see
It's worrying to hear that a less developed country has better education and is ahead... wow
The problem is that you're ignorant of other African countries, there's a lot of countries in Africa that are developing rapidly...Kenya ain't that far behind S.A in infrastructure development.
@@saitamadecember2806 please leave us alone we dont care about other africans
Thanks to SADTU
@@thembalethuzuma9696 I'm just saying, that "saying Kenya is less developed than South Africa" is somewhat of an insult, that demonstrates ignorance...but carry on living in your bubble
Its true,he must check development that is happening in Kenya is so huge.
The fact is that the standard of our education system is far below minimum, so it's time for a fresh and intelligent mind ,such as Gwarube's, to step in and show how to effectively run an education department
Congratulations young lady. Your intelligence is incredible and inspiring
I will assist my Sister, I am passionate about this ECD phase, it's the beginning of everything. I will be part of this particular solution! We will meet soon! 😤😤😤 you're speaking my language!
A new dawn for the SA education system, all the best nontombi.
Looking forward for teachers to love their jobs for the very first time
Welcome Minister, Wow...loved this!!
This is why I say the DA works with merit and not colour.
No ANC minister is as intelligent as this young lady. ❤
Those ministers you call them old and useless are educated
Yes fresh minds are needed but don’t forget where you coming from
No that is not true.Dr Kgosietso Ramokgopa is thee best.
Really great interview. The journalist kept trying to make it into a drama and the minister deftly avoided it.
IF you have SADTU dictating on how to run the Education of our Country, Then you can expect the worst education in the world. Bring back school inspectors that are well educated to assess the quality and commitment of Educators.Teachers need to know how to read and write effectively, and not those that have false qualifications. Re-open the many ESpecialist Education Colleges for Teacher Training minimum 3years of study. Set asided the excuse of racism for poor performance. Well done to Siwevive
Wishing you well Minister. Please look at the cost of building new schools. There is overpricing by tenderpreneurs while quality is very poor.
Congratulations 🎉young madam on your appointment we need young ideas
Well done for being appointed the standards in our country is so low that no one will employ our children thank God my daughter studied science and, maths she is teaching in the U A E
Once again, congratulations on your appointment as minister of basic education. It's indeed a big honor and an opportunity that we're sure you will relish/enjoy it. All de best, Sisi 🙏
to employ more teachers we need more schools. Makes no sense to employ teachers if you got no place for classrooms. We need to end pit toilets, we need more school for poor children, we need to get rich schools to share their resources, some of the resources obtained pre 94.. we got to improve the chances of the poor kids, be they black, or white or coloured.. if you start now it will take maybe another two generations to see results.
Pity ANC stole all the funds. Basically her hands are still tied now
Build more schools, eradicate pit toilets, change pass rate, create more tertiary state trade schools. All the best Minister.
I am for this change as we need it for the hope of a better generation. Help the primary phase as reading is bad. Science and maths are falling apart. Change the benchmark mark to 50% so the children could work hard. Practical subjects are needed....
Super to have her join the team!
Well spoken and intelligent!
Our black children are being forced to do Afrikaans as their second language. Afrikaans for what?
And this is what irks the hell out of me
There should be an African language in every school, including model c schools. Im not saying African languages should be compulsory though. We cannot be in one country if others use language to separate from others
Because you take your kids to Afrikaans schools, what do you expect? There are schools out there that do not teach Afrikaans across South Africa.
@@calvinmlambo True
If your children go to Europe to work, they will have a lot easier time learning German, Dutch/Flemish, which opens a lot of doors. Don't forget that the overwhelming majority of expats from SA are black.
Powerhouse!!! Not mincing her words!!Knows her story,, Mama firmly behind you,,,you are a breath of fresh air....... Ndiyaluuuuuuuuunywa(Labour pains) Puuuuuuuuuush! Baby gal, you are up to something the SA parent and learner wants,,, hapooooooo sana lam,,,
May the Lord cover you, you sound intelligent, confident we are expecting a lot from you. May the Lord increase your wisdom. All glory to the Lord. Change is indeed awesome. Amen.
Amen
A look at "teachers" without degrees in teaching should be removed from our schools and the positions given to the many teachers without jobs. GOV schools have far too many non teachers teaching.
Social workers in school a definite need
Please, Minister, take away teachers' paperwork. Thats all they do. With the result, teachers are not spending time with learners. Decrease the number of learners in classes. Pay the teachers better. Many teachers are working abroad. Bring back those teachers. Speak to te teachers. Those on the ground. Hear what the frustrations of teachers are. They are the ones thats teaching ,thats in the class.
GET RID OF THESE UNIONS WHO ARE TOO ANC...😢😢😢,they are no longer representing workers but anc😅😅😅
Agree
Loving the part about inter-ministerial talks/collaborations, and not solely working in silos as departments
no aahhh, oo oo oo. she's the real deal. very well spoken, articulate. no blame game for now. protect her like she is gold to our land😊
At long long long last our education system in this level is in safe hands. Hope to see a big exodus of teachers from SADTU to less partisan unions.
History will judge you Minister Siviwe. Im confident like many others you have what it takes to transform this important sector of government.
Congratulations 🎉 Siviwe, I used to listen to her comment on a radio show led by Naye Luphondwana on cki from now called tru fm.She was still a teen then. Now she is a whole national minister of education. I'm so proud of you Siviwe. Ntinga ntaka ndini😊🎉
I am very hopeful. I trust that Siviwe will deliver.
There will be no difference if there is no focus on trade and skills schools. Not all children are academically inclined but more than 90% of schools are academic by nature.
I get the sense that da deployees will out perform the rest of the ministers
The learner as the centre of your vision and a strong sense of collaboration, spot on. All the best
I despise the DA to the point of revulsion, but this young lady has swept me over. Insightful, matured and all things we expect from a leader. I do hope she does succeed in this venture and that the dinosaurs in the DA, more especially their Queen gargoyle do not spoil it for her.
You have the wrong impression of the DA. The DA has many very young and very capable leaders of all races across our beautiful country!!
For example, people like Mayor Chris Pappas ( 32) of uMngeni Municipality and his young Deputy Mayor, Sandile Mnikathi ( 28). This duo is making waves in KZN!
There is even an Arte tv Documentary about them on UA-cam!
You are so wrong about there DA. Give them a chance to win your heart
What about the DA makes you despise them? The roots of the DA come from parties that were against the racist apartheid policies and the NP. They have only ever fought for the people of South Africa.
It's just because you haven't examined the fact objectively. The comrades dribble millions of people daily, while they pick their pockets. They're experts at deception.
DA was never part of apartheid, read the history
Congratulations and may the Lord bless you richly and protect you in your work ahead. We Love you..... Love your hair style.
All the best to the new minister - we want hope for our kids
We need to invest in our young once as they will be the future of our land,and get deep into the minds of those teenagers who dropped out because of trauma.we need to get to the root.
Handled Aman well with her ANC aligned mindset.
Go gal and don't forget homeschool for parents are in control of their children hope this will continue Congrats looool
Let's hope SATU won't sobbatage her work. Because they made no secret of it that they don't want her and they dont like her. Good luck anyway, Minister, dont disappoint us. Our children depend on you.
I am inlove and have been since the day I heard her speak at the first sitting of the 7th Administration

I am not in education but have seen many teachers complain about admin duties they have to do. Perhaps this could be looked into so that they have more time to focus on the students.
