Cape Town – MEC Education Debbie Schäfer mourned the death of a Grabouw school principal.
Described by her colleagues as a “dynamic principal and a beautiful person,” Zameka Mfubesi, of Umyezo Wama Apile High School, was shot and killed on Friday, Schäfer said in a statement.
“I am shocked and saddened by the news that we have lost one of our protagonists in a senseless act of violence,” said Schäfer.
“Details are currently limited and we ask SAPS to urgently prioritize the investigation. I offer my condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and the school’s staff and students.
“Our district officials have come to the school along with the counselors to see how we can support them.
“Her colleagues describe her as a dynamic director and a beautiful person. This is a great loss to your school and to WCED.
“This has been a year where the courage and leadership of our principals and teachers has really come to the fore as they manage the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their schools. Losing one of them this way is heartbreaking.
“We ask that the privacy of the family be respected at this time of grief.”
