The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of the Gauteng Education Department regarding the school admissions regulations.
 
After the ruling, MEC Panyaza Panyaza Lesufi took to Facebook to proclaim that: “We WON! Thanks ConCourt‚ today we finally broke the backbone of apartheid planning.”
 
Lesufi who points out that Gauteng schools now belong to all children‚ not just the privileged few, adds that, “The judgment empowers us‚ as government‚ to declare new feeder zones thus‚ burying the transitional 5km radius! No parent will be asked a salary slip before their children are admitted in our schools! The best gift as we observe the 40th anniversary of the 16th June Uprisings! Also a fitting tribute by Justice [Dikgang] Moseneke in his last judgement as member of the ConCourt.”
