WATCH | A Wh!te Man Assaulted A Learner And Her Mother At Crowthorne Christian School In Midrand

A troubling incident unfolded at Crowthorne Christian School in Midrand, Johannesburg, involving an alleged assault by a white man against a young learner and her mother.

The incident occurred when the mother visited the school to address concerns about her child.

The situation began with a complaint about the child’s extended natural dreadlocks, which the mother wanted to clarify.

Unfortunately, what started as a minor issue escalated into violence, with the man reportedly assaulting both the learner and her mother.

This incident has sparked discussions about racial bias in schools and discriminatory practices.

Reports indicate that the school used WhatsApp messages to pressure the parent into cutting her child’s dreadlocks, raising concerns about cultural inclusivity.

In response, authorities have taken action, lodging an assault case against the accused individual at Midrand Police Station.

As news of the incident spreads, demands for accountability are growing from parents, community leaders, and activists.

They call for the school’s responsibility in fostering a safe and welcoming environment for all students.

This incident highlights the ongoing need to address racism and discrimination within society, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive spaces in educational institutions.

As investigations continue, this serves as a reminder that efforts to eliminate systemic biases must remain constant to build a just and equal society.

People in these comments either don’t like to read or comprehension is their issue. The fact that they allowed these dreadlocks in the first place means that it’s not against the code of conduct. The principal says the hair was extended, which it was not-natural hair grows!

She probably was spoken to politely in that office but she just kept raising her voice wanting to get her way until that man got annoyed. We know such people because we live amongst them hence the partner didn’t retaliate because he’s used to those screaming matches.
