Newly appointed KwaZulu-Natal education MEC Mbali Frazer visited Hillcrest High School on Thursday after alleged racist slurs involving pupils.

Frazer is expected to fire her first salvo as the department head after parents complained that the department was failing in its duty to promote equity at schools and pupils held protests last week and on Wednesday.

In a statement on the school's Facebook page on Wednesday, school governing body head Byron Creed said it intervened after snippets of a private WhatsApp group chat went public on social media platforms this year. The group messages, which were leaked on Instagram, were posted between June and October 2021 on an account which has been deactivated.

One message read: “So then u not confident in your understanding as u therefore are a k****,” while another read: “OK well we just do what we did to that n***** to him.” The account has been deactivated.
