WCED spokesperson Bronagh Hammond told GroundUp: “Various officials engaged with Mr Neumann attempting to persuade him to reopen the school, or keep it open for those learners that, according to national directions, were required to attend school.
Former Trafalgar High School principal Nadeem Hendricks, who attended the vigil, said the department’s actions were an effort to discourage communities and schools from contesting its future decisions. “This is how they react to a community that stands for justice and to a community that stands for the best interests of the children.”
“Wesley Neumann didn’t have an agenda, he had compassion. He cared for his community, and his community demanded of him to extend that care. He made some sacrifices to protect their children, and here he stands persecuted. How unjust can that be?” said Hendricks. Convener of the civil society group South Africa First Forum, Rod Solomons, said if Neumann was dismissed or received a heavy sanction, “we will mobilise whatever resources we can to support him and Heathfield High in asserting their democratic rights”.

Wrong! This is causing the kids massive trauma. Suck it up and do your jobs.
On 4 June 2020 WC had by far the most cases in the country at over 27000. The second highest was EC with just under 4000. DA was busy playing politics (Trump kind) at the time instead of taking COVID measures seriously. Best of luck to the Principal, you were in the right here!
