My child has also faced discrimination over her hair - mom
30 August 2016
Johannesburg - A mother of a Grade 9 pupil at a Johannesburg private school told News24 that her child has also faced discrimination over her hair.
This comes amid an ongoing protest by pupils at Pretoria High School for Girls who claim that black girls' hairstyles are being discriminated against at the school.
The mother said her child was told by the school that she did not look presentable when she cut her dreadlocks off and began sporting an afro.
"They told me they have a certain format. When she [cut off] her dreadlocks they said she wasn't presentable," said the parent.
