Afro hairstyle 'comments' spark controversy at Cape Town high school
30 August 2019
Western Cape Education MEC Debbie Schafer claims there is no evidence that derogatory comments were directed at a group of female Malibu High pupils who has Afro hairstyles.
It is alleged the pupils at the Blue Downs school were ordered to plait their "untidy" hair or face suspension for violating the school's hair policy.
On Friday, irate netizens took to social media accusing teachers of abusing the pupils.
Schafer said she had taken note of the comments regarding the allegations of derogatory comments directed at the girls.
