kaveels I think they knew exactly what it meant, and I find it very tragic that even in modern times parents still teach racism. People are tought to hate, love comes more naturally to the human hart than its opposite - Nelson Mandela

kaveels Management does not implement it's only disciplinary processes when it comes to racism. Look at lack of diiversity in teaching staff, SGBs at many historically white schools & it is patently clear why they go on pretending racism doesn't exist. Denial is not acceptable

There was a satire piece a few years ago that suggested we should have had a 'sjambok' ceremony for Apartheid deniers and racists. I am starting to think it is not such a bad idea.

kaveels Racial slurs to my children will take it personal and deal with it accordingly

kaveels 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕didn't know balls

kaveels Ignorance isn't an excuse and in this case untrue.

kaveels Ba nnyela

kaveels Crypto currency investment close to 5years now, many strategy I have tried but all failed. I got frustrated and was almost calling it quit, little did I know that I could provide an awesome Investment. It's Real And Legit, Fast Payment. Zero fees for withdrawal Dannyramirezk

kaveels Nonsense

kaveels They know exactly what it means because their parents teach it to them.

kaveels Amasimba

kaveels Panyasa Lesufi said the teacher who said she hate coloureds needs help,so i think these kids also needs help.

kaveels And we have to believe that❗️I wish they could have done that to my child!

kaveels High School?

kaveels A school? Saying that? What are they teaching - surely language is a core skill?

kaveels Mxm Crap

kaveels Well who cares if they knew what those slurs meant? The important thing is the motive & spirit behind when using them These ones bazosijwayela amasimba this is not Europe with your narrow behinds, mnqundu yenu

kaveels The worst thing here is News24 wanting me to pay a subscription to read the article.

kaveels why arent they deported?

kaveels Lies Lies everywhere

kaveels Jip and so we whities gets called pig skin and boer. Havent seen us running shouting it to the world.😅😅🤣🤣

kaveels You cannot be a South African and claim ignorance to those words. You just can’t. To lie so badly is to insult the intelligence of the masses. That is all.

kaveels Lifetime racism is in a black man’s face everyday of his life, from birth to death because Europeans discovered South Africa with minerals & its land Its blackman’s problem. At some point we need to call for Europeans to go back home, their presence in 🇿🇦 is perpetual abuse

kaveels What does Bullshit mean. I also don't know. I just know when I see it or being spoken.

kaveels Out of the blue they just say bread without knowing what bread is and what it does huh? Great

kaveels Lol ok..lets take the word of the SGB for argument's sake. Now, to whom were these 'racial slurs' directed? Did they direct them agnst each othr or their parents? If not how did they arrive at a conclusion tht such slurs can only be directed at 'others'

kaveels Makgowa neh 🤣🤣🤣

kaveels Wemame

kaveels Like calling your mother a 'B' word and later claim you didn't know what it means?🤔

kaveels

kaveels The bullshit in this

Tilly_tetelo kaveels Everyone disrespects black South Africans: Whites, Indians, foreign nationals ,you name it. What can be done to fix this?

kaveels We are really disrespected in this Country.

kaveels Nonsense!!!!

kaveels What an excuse 🚮🚮

kaveels The intention is more important than the meaning.

kaveels That begs the question. Why use the specific slurs? The learners knew 100% what it meant and used it with the clear intention to cause harm to the victims. In any case not knowing be it the truth or not is not seen or accepted by courts as any form of defence.

kaveels Rubbish 🚮

kaveels Medical parole defense.

kaveels Bullshit

kaveels Show us their faces maybe we will understand their decision

kaveels Just this morning on twitter Coolie was openly used to address South African Indians. Stop giving words power!!!

kaveels Lol the fuck in this day and internet age. You don't know, the bloody know all too well

kaveels What a bunch of TWARK, oh white kids don't know the meaning of insulting Africans? Hillcrest High must be shut down till those little spoilbrats know racial slurs.

kaveels I have always wondered why African American rappers utilize that word so often, seeing as they deem it to be offensive?

kaveels admin we are not stupid you.

kaveels I guess they don't see nothing wrong with what they did. Because they are still lying. Who will believe what they are saying. Unless he supports what they did

kaveels The SGB must be careful some decisions comeback and bite. Excuses and cover ups does not help anyone or the children.

kaveels If white could stop being racists in speech, actions, economically, we could have moved on long ago. But……

kaveels Lol. The amount of BS that is.

kaveels We are not in 2002 anymore, these kids have Google at their fingertips, please stop with the nonsense 🤣

kaveels I guess if the one side can claim 'it's my culture' the otherside can claim 'I did not know'

kaveels Nx yazi nina futhi!

kaveels News 24 always posting shit

kaveels Whites use those words in their homes...it's no secret.

kaveels Mxm!

kaveels Masepa.

kaveels Nonsense they are aware 100% they are not stupid.

kaveels With exposure of television and social media, not to mention our history as a country. I call BS

kaveels What have the involved parents been teaching these kids?! Utter nonsense. Can we not move forward?!

kaveels That excuse is BOLLOCKS

kaveels N-word. The Afrikaans word for sew?

kaveels News24 & that SGB are pathetic at defending racists.

kaveels So if they didn’t know what they meant Then it bags the question did they use the words among themselves as white pupils ? because logic will dictate that they didn’t know the meaning If they did but if they used against blacks definitely they knew charity begins at home

kaveels Why do you send text and you don’t know what the words mean. I find this very difficult to believe.

kaveels why use a word if u don't know what it means. excuses

kaveels They were also told by their parents to deny knowledge of the word in fear of backlash

kaveels The whole SGB and the principal should fired what kind of lame ass excuse is this

kaveels Mxim

kaveels What were the words? Something new?

kaveels Nonsense

kaveels fuck you cant make this thing up.

kaveels Also indicative that family use the word. How else would they know it and how and when to use it

kaveels Are you for real

kaveels Lol

kaveels 🤣🤣🤣🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣

kaveels Oh they ddnt know neh...I’m assuming so did the old apartheid president he ddnt know what he was doing actually...

kaveels Rubbish.

kaveels Bullshit!!

kaveels Nope. Try something else.

kaveels VoetsekSAMedia

kaveels Must admit, to be in high school and not know the meaning of racial slurs or the words themselves, is a thin defence.
