Suspension of Grade 12 Learner for Suspected Racial Undertones in Viral Video
The Gauteng Department of Education wishes to confirm that a matric learner from Pretoria High School for Girls was suspended on Wednesday, 31 July 2024, after being seen making statements with racial undertones in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
The learner was recorded in a video in February 2024, making statements suspected to have racial undertones.
This video has recently gone viral on social media, prompting serious concerns.
The School Governing Body (SGB) suspended the learner today, and it will subsequently initiate a formal disciplinary process in due course.
The Gauteng Department of Education is firmly committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all learners.
We take incidents of this nature very seriously and will ensure that appropriate actions are taken to address and resolve the situation.
