'Racist' Schweizer-Reneke school picture could have contributed to voter loss - DA
8 March 2020
The DA has claimed an alleged segregation image taken at Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke was one of the factors that contributed to it losing part of its electorate.
The party is expected to make public the finding of its investigation into the picture of Grade R pupils who were separated in their classroom along racial lines.
The image, taken last year, sparked a racial storm throughout the country, with some describing the image as racist, claiming black pupils were segregated from their white counterparts according to the colour of their skin.
Teacher Elana Barkhuizen was immediately suspended after being accused of being racist.
