While calm has been restored to Laerskool Danie Malan in Pretoria North, frustrated parents say all their options are too far for their children. Parents are accusing the school’s management of being racist for not accepting several Grade 1 learners.

“Learning and teaching is going on as normal this morning at Hoerskool Danie Malan, with no sign of any protests. However, the road in front of the school has been blocked off by police to ensure that protestors don’t return. Yesterday, a group of about 30 members from the EFF in Tshwane as well as concerned parents gathered outside the gates of the school, to voice their concerns. They were protesting against the non-placement of black Grade 1 learners, claiming that the school is racist.

”The EFF’s Thami Shabangu says, “We are asking for placement as residents of the north, the Afrikaans classes there is 5 of them and there is 15 to 21 learners in each classroom and we are asking for 1 additional classroom and there is also another classroom that they are using as a storeroom. They can take out that storeroom and use it as a class and they can actually have 3 English classes as well.
