<p>The Overkruin and Montana High Schools applied for the interdict against MEC Lesufi. They were delivered last night (Tuesday).</p>
<p>Lesufi is expected to appear in court this morning.</p>
<p>Last year, the Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the Education Department over language policies.</p>
<p>At the time, the Federation of Governing Bodies of South African Schools took the department to court.</p>
<p>The court ruled that language policies set by governing bodies may constitute discrimination based on race.</p><p><a href="http://www.enca.com/south-africa/gauteng-education-mec-receives-court-interdict">http://www.enca.com/south-africa/gauteng-education-mec-receives-court-interdict</a><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents. Members who disagree with a message are encouraged to post a rebuttal, and to write directly to the original sender of any offensive message.  A copy of this may be forwarded to this list as well.  (H. Schiffman, Moderator)<br><br>For more information about the lgpolicy-list, go to <a href="https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/" target="_blank">https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/</a><br>listinfo/lgpolicy-list<br>*******************************************</div>
