Cape Town - An amendment to Malibu High school’s policy on hair and an apology have been welcomed by the parents of the girls who were “humiliated” two weeks ago.
The caretaker was recorded saying the pupils “were not born with Afros” and “only apes and bears were born with Afros. Were you born with that hair?”. “The department cannot dictate their policies, as this would be against the SA Schools Act. The WCED can, and has, requested that the school review its code of conduct.
Parent Zoleka Stephans confirmed to Weekend Argus that the meeting held at the school was “positive and fruitful”.
