CAPE TOWN – Disciplinary proceedings against a director from Cape Town have officially started.
Heathfield High School Principal Wesley Neumann attended a preview hearing Monday.
The director faces a series of transgressions.
This month, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) indicted Neumann.
He is accused of trying to attack a student by pointing his finger at his face.
Neumann claimed that the student was drunk and that it was he who was assaulted.
The other charges relate to blocking COVID-19.
The principal refused to reopen the school amid the spike of infection.
Brandon de Kock, from the school’s governing body (SGB): “Documents were provided from both sides for the respective support teams to scrutinize.”
SGB members and some parents who have supported Neumann have delivered a memorandum of demands to the province’s education department.
