Now, she said, her pain continued as as she struggled to find a replacement school for her child.
Department spokesperson Steve Mabona confirmed the department had conducted and concluded an investigation into the incident. He said the department was in constant communication with the family, but they had"refused" counselling. Mabona confirmed the department had recommended the teen be moved to Goudveld Senior School in Langlaagte, which offered a similar curriculum to Roodepark.In an e-mail seen by SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE, the education department had earlier recommended Langlaagte Technical School after consultation with curriculum officials, but the teen's mother said she did not believe Langlaagte to be a good school.
In a letter she sent to education MEC Panyaza Lesufi earlier in February, the mother detailed how the school handled the incident. "What is even more disturbing is that the school notified me on February 4 that there would be a disciplinary hearing against my son within five working days from the notification," she wrote."He is also still traumatised and will be going for regular checkups," she wrote. “However, subsequent to this incident there were four boys involved in a fight and they were immediately suspended and are due to appear before a disciplinary hearing,” he said.
