Grade 11 pupil beaten in alleged racially-motivated attack at school
Post
|September 10, 2025
A GRADE 11 pupil at Seatides Combined School was allegedly beaten in what his father described as a racially-motivated attack.
The father claimed the school downplayed the incident, allowing the alleged attackers to return to class with minimal consequences while their son remained traumatised.
Neeraj Nundhraj, of Tongaat, alleged his son, Kairav, 16, a Grade 11 pupil, was bullied, intimidated and physically assaulted by two pupils during the lunch break.
He said Kairav and his friends sat on a free bench to eat their lunch when two boys, who are believed to be brothers - from grades 10 and 11 - confronted them.
"They told my son and his friends that they had been sitting on the bench and left for a few minutes to use the toilet. Kairav's friends got up. But he told the bullies that he would get up once he was finished eating. They pulled his hand and a fight ensued," said Nundhraj.
"They punched Kairav's face, kicked him to the ground and got on top of him. My son could do nothing but take the beating. At this point he was also scared to retaliate and just allowed them to beat him up," he added.
