Fourteen parents from Port Elizabeth’s northern areas will appear in the Gelvandale Magistrate’s Court today after marching to highlight the education crisis in their schools.
The parents were arrested by police in Stanford Road in Gelvandale yesterday after they blocked the road and obstructed traffic.
The small group of about 70 parents had marched from the Cleary Park Shopping Centre to the Gelvandale Stadium.
Despite being arrested and allegedly manhandled by police, parents have promised even more mass action including a complete lockdown of the area.
While fourteen parents were arrested, only thirteen of them were charged.
The thirteenth charged parent did not want his picture to be taken. Here are the parents who were arrested fighting for their children’s education:
