Following the protest that took place yesterday (October 12) outside Ladysmith High School (LHS), the school has commented by saying that all the allegations levelled against management are “blatant lies”.
South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) and Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) members gathered outside LHS yesterday, where they protested against racism, discrimination and the unreasonable eviction of workers.
LHS Deputy Principal Mr Clark says that all the allegations made against the school’s management are absolute lies.
“These allegations do not hold water; they are all fabricated. There is no proof of any of this,” says Mr Clark.
A rumour has been circulating that there’s a picture of a baboon on a register for the workers (cleaners), indicating the fact that they are all black workers. Mr Clark denies this rumour, saying, “How could we do such a thing?”
He went on to say that if it was a matter of race, why do they have mixed races in the SRC?
“Why would we teach isiZulu if we are a racist school? This matter has been blown out of proportion and there is no proof of these allegations,” stressed Mr Clark.
