The school went to court after a violent confrontation by angry community members against EFF members who were picketing outside the school following reports that a private event, organized by parenting parents, was attended by only white students.
Community members denied that the school or event was racist, saying the event was open to all.
Meanwhile, EFF member Sibongile Nkasayi filed assault charges against a man, who was caught on video hitting her with a baseball bat.
The 22-year-old told News24 on Tuesday that she had just got out of the car and was walking towards the other EFF members. However, he decided to return when he realized they were being attacked.
“One of them said that he warned me that he would catch me when we returned,” Nkasayi said.
She said that when they went to Brackenfell High School last week on Friday, she saw one of the men.
“But he wasn’t the one who hit me. It was another man who hit me on the lower back, “he added.
He said he is experiencing pain in his back, arm and neck.
EFF Provincial Chairman Melikhaya Xego said they have opened an assault case at the Brackenfell police station.
“They helped us when we opened the case and gave us the form to take it to a doctor,” he added.
Xego said he asked the policeman why they hadn’t made an arrest, because they had seen the assault.
“I hope they arrest him,” Nkasayi said. “The law must take its course.”
