PRETORIA HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS: SGB DEMANDS FULL ACCOUNT ON RACISM ALLEGATIONS
Brian Sokutu
Release report, dept told

Despite striking off as not urgent an application by a school governing body (SGB), compelling the Gauteng department of education (GDE) to release the report into alleged racism at the Pretoria High School for Girls, the High Court in Pretoria yesterday found "no logic" in the GDE withholding the information.

After a protracted battle to compel Gauteng education MEC Matome Chiloane and the GDE to release the investigative report into alleged racism at the school, after 12 pupils were suspended in July on claims of racism linked to their involvement in a WhatsApp group, the SGB resorted to bringing an urgent court application.

The SGB wanted the department to release the full account of what led to the GDE decision, which also saw principal Phillipa Erasmus being suspended for allegedly failing to intervene after being made aware of WhatsApp messages with alleged racist undertones.

Judge Mandlenkosi Motha found that the SGB application was not urgent.
