JOHANNESBURG – The Western Cape Department of Education has found no evidence of racism in the matrix function at Brackenfell High School.
The department’s preliminary report has cleared the school of racism for the event.
MEC Debbie Schafer says the report will be published soon.
“All indications are exactly what we said before, it was a private event organized by a private individual who was disappointed that his son could not get his matrix function, which was canceled by the school,” he said.

“Obviously it has raised many issues that will be addressed, but in that particular event, there is no evidence of discrimination on the basis of race.”
The school dominated the headlines after clashes between parents and EFF protesters.
The party was protesting racism at school after it emerged that only white students and teachers participated in a matrix farewell event.
