The nine-year-old pupil at Christian Life Private School in Buccleuch, Johannesburg, was prevented from entering the school on Thursday and was sent home. Then his parents were slapped with a letter dated July 23, which Sowetan has seen.

"On Wednesday, he went to school and one of the teachers said he should wear a long sleeve to hide it.
