South Africa is a democratic country governed by a Constitution that is anchored on a vision that promotes human dignity, human rights and freedom, non-racialism and non-sexism.
Government is therefore shocked and disappointed at the behaviour of members of the South African Democratic Teachers Union, who infringed on Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga’s right to human dignity and non-sexism by publicly displaying  a piece of underclothing attributed to her.
