SA Media and Television personalities Khanyi Mbau and Uyanda Mbuli, are calling for South Africans to join them in signing a petition for schools to be closed, for the remainder of the 2020 academic year.

Michael Warren who started the petition said children, cannot return to a stressful environment that risks their health or lives furthermore, they are going to be cramming copious amounts of work which will affect their grades and mental health.
