Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke row: Principal, teacher facing suspension amid probe - source
A teacher and the principal at the controversial Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke in the North West are reportedly also facing suspension.
The two were allegedly implicated after a photograph showing four black Grade R children sitting at a separate table from white children went viral on social media, causing outrage.
A source in the provincial Department of Education told News24 that the school principal and the teacher who allegedly separated the children based on their race would be suspended soon.
The source said the latest development was a result of preliminary investigations.
However, when confronted with the question, North West Education MEC Sello Lehari promised that the identity of the two individuals implicated in the investigation would be revealed at a briefing on Thursday afternoon.
