Probe launched after Durban teacher tells pupils white people 'genetically smarter'

Durban - Westville Girls’ High School says it has launched an investigation after a teacher allegedly told pupils that white people are “genetically smarter” than people of colour. According to a source, the incident happened during a Grade 12 Afrikaans class last week.

“We take any incidents of this nature very seriously. The incident has triggered an internal investigation by the school and we’re also seeking external legal advice,” he said. Last year, the school was embroiled in a racism scandal when a teacher allegedly used a derogatory term in class, referring to black people. After an outcry by parents and civil organisations, the teacher resigned.

Thirona Moodley, spokesperson for the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of SA, said there was no place in a learning institution for such a teacher.
