School probed over ’no black teachers’

[umamankandla]

In SA there are nurses getting R50k+ per month..... hardly minimum wage.

You are right. It must be the money and not the leadership. Our leaders are world class with top education that complies with the 3 R's. Reading, Righting and Rithmetic

At this point they are hoping everyone forgets about it because they clearly bit off more than they can chew

It is unacceptable that a school does not have a black teacher for ten years. Obviously it is school policy to exclude black teachers.

Oh shem. The tears she be falling. Who gives a flying fk?

It is unacceptable that a school does not have a black teacher for ten years. Obviously it is school policy to exclude black teachers.

Why is is unacceptable? I am sure there are thousands of schools which only had black teachers for decades.

Yes, obviously. That is the only logical conclusion.

It is unacceptable because it is racism.

Olook woofles, another virtue-singalling racist.

Wot?

How is it racism?

Maybe it is because black teachers in general refuse to speak Afrikaans and in any school a teacher would need to be able to communicate with the pupils.

 

[dualmeister]

It is unacceptable because it is racism.

So schools out there with only black teachers and no white staff are thus also racist?

 

[clickingbuttons]

I love how perceived white on black racism is completely unacceptable and must be stopped at all costs™

Blatant and overt black on white racism though is completely fine and is even enforced through legislation and somehow that is completely acceptable and everyone must just be fine with it.

Looking at you BEE, EFF, BLF, ANC

Brackenfell High School to implement diversity training, first black head boy speaks out​

Cape Town - Brackenfell High school is in the process of addressing concerns and putting measures in place to facilitate diversity.

Their transformation policy came under fire recently following an alleged whites-only matric event held a few weeks ago.

...

Western Cape Education Department spokesperson Bronagh Hammond said the department would not launch an investigation into racism allegations at the school as a result of the event which she said the “school did not organise, host, arrange or endorse this event”.

“It is therefore nonsensical to suggest that we charge or suspend the principal or teachers for an event that they had not organised,” she said.

Hammond, however, conceded “that the teaching staff team have lacked diversity over the past few years.

...

“As a department, we do believe that there needs to be an increased emphasis on diversity at the school. The WCED will therefore engage the school on this in the weeks to come.”

The school has 1 500 pupils and 90 staff members, of those only 15% (225) of the pupils are of colour and all staff members are white.

The school’s first black head boy, Luvuyo Mose, spoke about how he and his peers were made to feel like they did not belong.

“We felt out of place, unwanted, like we were not supposed to be there,” he said.

Mose was head boy in 2014 and alleged he was denied the opportunity to be rugby captain even though his teammates had elected him.

“The coach said the team needed someone more senior. I was scratched out and a white boy was hand-picked by the coach. The racism at the school is and has always been swept under the rug, I am happy about what is happening because maybe now the racism will be dealt with,” added Mose.

...

The SA Human Rights Commission is investigating allegations of unfair discrimination emanating from the event where some pupils were allegedly not invited.

Commissioner Andre Gaum said the investigation is still in its infancy but the school and student governing body agreed to co-operate.

“More interviews need to be conducted to determine how two teachers allegedly came to attend the event and how the rest of the school was left out. If other issues come up we will investigate those too,” he said.

Equal Education also entered the fray, condemning the organising of the function, calling for the school principal to take action.

“The fact that the white kids didn’t see anything wrong with a ’whites-only’ party says a lot about the kind of future Brackenfel students should look forward to.

’’The whole scandal is racially motivated in that it makes people of colour look and feel less of humans. Personally, the principal should be held accountable, as he is the leader, and is the one to promote a non-racial environment,” said learner member Mihlali Mateta.

So racism is the only possible reason?

It’s nonsense that EFF wants to protest outside Brackenfell High over a private party

The party was a privately-arranged affair, at a private venue and not the school, says the writer.

It’s nonsense that EFF wants to protest outside Brackenfell High over a private party​

While not condoning the violence that occurred outside Brackenfell High School in Cape Town, I am at a loss to understand how the South African Human Rights Commission, the Ahmed Kathreda Foundation and Judge Siraj Desai, justify the EFF’s protests at the school as legitimate and acceptable.

Considering that the party was a privately-arranged affair, at a private venue and not the school, it is nonsensical to suggest that the Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) protest at the school itself was legitimate.

This is especially so, considering that matric exams were in progress.

Matrics bringing their school careers to a close with a party is a long-established tradition.

I’m certain that a large number of private parties were held across the area, and who can say how many, if any, were racially mixed?

If this is the case, then both bodies, as well as Judge Desai, overreached their powers and did themselves no favours by ruling as they did.

Will this ridiculous ruling apply to all private gatherings?

The resulting violence, while unfortunate, was inevitable once the EFF made it its business to protest.

The EFF has a long record of violence, intimidation, damage to private property and looting, so it was only natural that parents, of all races, whose children were writing exams at the school, expected the worst, and arrived primed for action.

The results, while sad, were inevitable.

South Africans must expect more of the same, until the EFF are brought under control.
