THE racism storm that has hit the Pretoria High School for Girls has now turned to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, with the school’s governing body lodging an application in a bid to force the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) to provide the report on the results of a commissioned investigation into the allegations.

- ZELDA VENTER

The department in November last year revealed some details of its mandated investigation by Mdladlamba Attorneys to probe allegations of a culture of racism at the school. However, it did not share a copy of the report with the school’s governing body.

When asked for a copy, the department directed the school to the provisions of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA). This Act affords a requester the right of access to records held by public bodies.
