The SGB is against having a black principal and has been working against her for the past year . This began when the SGB wanted to become a Curro school and the principal was not in favour of this The SGB are a questionable group of ppl who have captured the finances of school

Or perhaps it's got to do with parents upset that 14 teachers have resigned in the past year, no gr4 teachers for 2018, unethical purchases on school debit card. Forensic audit shows irregularities.

Also, preferred school leader is not white. This is not a race issue, it's about incompetence and fraud.
