The parents and the school held a heated meeting today in which the school representatives were unmoved by the mother’s plea to allow the child back to the school. kgmadisa

Christian Life Private School in Buccleuch, Johannesburg, remains adamant that the grade 2 pupil cannot attend classes until his isiphandla falls off as his parents are not willing to take it off.

“They said that he must stay at home until it falls and I said to them that's fine, I will seek advice from the attorneys.” “So, what they are doing is discrimination because we live in a diverse South Africa where everyone is allowed to practise whatever they want regardless that it is a Christian school,” she said.
