Cape Town – Brackenfell High School will remain open and private security will be present for the planned EFF protest at the institution on Friday.
Education MEC Debbie Schäfer said that with permission from the City of Cape Town for 100 members to protest outside of school again from noon Friday, arrangements were made to ensure that the matrices who wrote Physical Sciences Document 1 that tomorrow they could do it without interruption.
“All eighth through eleventh grade exams will be rescheduled, but the school will remain open and classes for students will continue,” he said.
Schäfer called for calm when the EFF on Tuesday mobilized members to protest racism outside of school on Friday.
This comes after racially charged violence erupted when EFF members protesting an alleged white-only private matrix dance event were targeted last week.
The SGB school’s offer to prevent the EFF from protesting outside or near the institution was postponed from Monday to December 2.
“This is clearly an attempt to intimidate the school and it is infringing on the rights of students who are writing tests, especially our matrices.
“Our students have been subjected to unprecedented events this year and anxiety and stress levels are high,” said Schäfer.
“We are in contact with the school, SAPS, and city law enforcement to ensure order is maintained and our students and staff are safe.
“There is also private security to ensure that the school or its students are not harmed.
EFF provincial spokesman Wandile Kasibe said the party would not accept instructions from Schäfer, who said he was silent on the violence committed against EFF members protesting last week.
“From the beginning he was positioned in condemning the EFF, when it was the EFF that was attacked by racists,” Kasibe said.
“She must condemn her own people and not lecture us on how we should respond to racism. Brackenfell is not a white enclave. There is no space that is a ‘no-go zone’ in this country. “
