The Western Cape government has ordered that NGO Equal Education to "cease operations" at schools around the province until they meet to discuss a way forward, following a string of sexual harassment allegations made against the organisation. It comes after revelations emerged that former general secretary Tshepo Motsepe, former head of national organising Luyolo Mazwembe, and co-founder and former treasurer Doron Isaacs are all accused of sexual harassment. They have denied the allegations. Joining us from Cape Town is Interim National Coordinator for Equal Education, Leanne Jansen-Thomas.
