The KwaZulu-Natal education department has established a commission of inquiry to probe racism allegations at Hillcrest High School in Durban.
The school has been accused of covering up racism by a group of boys, including incidents involving the school’s rugby captain. Education MEC Mbali Frazer visited the school today to meet with school management representatives and parents. In July, acting principal of Grosvenor Girls’ High School was suspended by the department of Education in the province. The Department said it took the decision in line with the recommendations made by an independent panel that uncovered racism and financial mismanagement at the school. The probe was launched after pupils at Grosvenor Girls’ High School staged a protest outside the school against alleged racism in February this year.
