TEKWANE
SOUTH – Angry parents of learners at the newly built Tekwane High School are
calling for the head of the principal.
This is
after police allegedly assaulted learners of this high school upon instruction
of the principal.
These
shocking new allegations leveled against this government-owned high school, are
said to have happened last week, allegedly after the principal called the
police to the school to assault the learners.
This
incident happened just when the entire nation awaits the fate of the Cefups
Academy following allegations of corporal punishment.
“This is
simply torture and we can’t have a government school operating like a juvenile
prison, where the principal thinks he can do anything with our children.
We demand
that the department charges him and that he be removed from this school.-
“We do
not wish to take the law into our own hands and so we want to appeal to the
government to do something about this,” said one angry parent who told this paper
that his son was viciously manhandled by the police during their visit.
The
parents told this paper that the principal didn’t want to punish the learners
himself because he was afraid of being charged by the department and so opted
to call the police instead.
“What is
even more painful is the fact that our children haven’t even received
counselling and we are afraid this may affect their performance at school and
in later life,” he continued.
This high
school has just opened its doors a month ago and even then, it was in total
disarray as no learning and teaching took place.
