Crowthorne Christian Academy operating illegally

The Citizen reported Gauteng education spokesperson Steve Mabona said they had taken note of the Crowthorne Christian Academy incident.

“It must be noted the school is illegally operating, and the pupil was offered alternative schooling and counselling by the GDE.

“We are assisting the school to comply and encourage all unregistered institutions to engage with the department for assistance with registration processes,” said Mabona.

Explaining how the altercation came about, the child’s mother, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the child, told The Sowetan she decided to go to the school to explain that her daughter’s locks were natural and not extensions.

Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi confirmed the case and said no arrests had been made.
