It’s a question the South African Human Rights Commission is due to answer after the organisation confirmed it was looking into a race row involving a Western Cape teacher.
The commission on Monday confirmed it would rule on a complaint it received relating to Oudtshoorn teacher Glen Snyman, who last month was formally charged with fraud by the Western Cape education department after self-identifying as “African” in a 2017 application for a post at another school.
However, the disciplinary hearing never went ahead after the department withdrew the charge after an outcry over its conduct in the matter. Among those critical of the department’s move to discipline Snyman was Western Cape education MEC Beverley Schäfer, who is also probing the matter. Snyman has been an outspoken critic of race classification for many years. He founded the group People Against Race Classification .
