The suspensions come in response to allegations that both individuals impregnated students at the school.
Intervention by Khula Community Development
Concerned parents reached out to the Khula Community Development, prompting the organization to hold a meeting with the school authorities.
However, before the meeting could take place, reports surfaced that the educators, including the principal, had been placed on precautionary suspension.
Petros Majola, the director of Khula Community Development, acknowledged the potential impact of this case on the school’s atmosphere and academic environment.
In an interview with the SABC, he expressed his belief that the tensions arising from such incidents could hinder teaching and learning.
As a result, the organization conducted a debriefing session to encourage the staff to set aside their differences and refocus on their educational responsibilities.
