SA’s racial tensions | Pretoria Girls High staff investigated

JOHANNESBURG - About a dozen pupils from Pretoria Girls High School are facing a disciplinary hearing next week. 

They've all been suspended for alleged racism after creating a whites-only WhatsApp group.

It's believed that messages filled with racism and micro-aggression flew back and forth.

In a meeting with the School Governing Body, the victims raised even more complaints.

They said the principal and teachers took little to no action when racist incidents were reported.

Gauteng Education has now begun an investigation into the staff involved.

This is not the first incident of alleged racism at the school.

The school made headlines in 2016 after Zulaikha Patel led a protest, slamming the school’s hair policy.
