A report on the private function at Brackfenfell High School, which has been accused of alleged racism, has revealed the measures the school is taking to address racial tension.

Western Cape Education MEC Debbie Schäfer had requested the report of the function after a violent clash between EFF members and residents near the high school. The EFF had been protesting against alleged racism at the school, after reports of a whites-only masquerade ball.On Monday, Schäfer said she had received the report from the Western Cape Education Department following the furore that erupted.

In a previous statement sent out by the school governing body, and signed by the principal, they said they “fully commit to participate in future discussions with learners as well as parents in order to ensure a constructive way forward. The school has also undertaken to expand and adapt in order to make the school a better place where all our children will be adequately equipped to function in a multicultural society where we embrace diversity and inclusivity.

“In addition to this, the district will also arrange a series of diversity workshops facilitated by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, for all the staff at the school.
