The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has condemned the violence that erupted outside Brackenfell High School in the Western Cape on Monday.
Riot police were called in when EFF supporters clashed with parents following a matrix party in October. At least orne person was arrested.
In a statement Monday night, the SAHRC said:
“We have seen in the media the outbreak of a violent confrontation between people who are said to be parents of students at school and members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) outside the school premises. These unfortunate events follow reports that two teachers from the school attended a private tuition function, which only included white students and their parents.
“The commission is deeply disappointed by the violence, as well as the allegations that preceded it. The SAHRC is surprised to learn that a racially segregated private event was held around this time for the school’s enrollment students. More disappointing is the fact that this event was attended by his parents and two teachers from the school.
“The alleged holding of a ‘whites only’ event, if true, is also strongly condemned. No one should be allowed to return racial segregation to this country. The deep racial divisions of apartheid and South Africa’s colonial past cannot be cured as long as children are socialized separately on the basis of race and therefore, as a nation, we can never forge a South Africa where all are equal, free and equal. treaties. with dignity.
“The commission condemns the violence, especially as it occurred in full view of young people who should prepare and dedicate themselves to end-of-year exams that are expected to be difficult due to disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent emergency shutdowns.
