JOHANNESBURG – The Constitutional Court ruled in favor of a Limpopo matric student who had taken action against his headmaster and the provincial Department of Education after he was denied permission to take an exam.
Johannes Moko, a student at Malusi Secondary School in Marobjane, was going to write the second business studies article, but the headmaster of the school, Tlou Mokgonyana, turned it down, supposedly because he had missed additional lessons.
Mokgonyana is said to have told Moko to go back to school with her tutor. However, the student returned alone after not finding anyone at home.
By the time she returned, the exam was already in progress and the headmaster was still denying Moko entry to the site.
They then told Moko that her only option would be to write a supplemental exam in March 2021.
The student approached the Limpopo Superior Court, which removed the matter from the roll, before finally moving to the superior court.
The country’s highest court ruled that the acting director’s conduct was a violation of Moko’s right to basic education.
