Neumann returns to Labour Court in battle to get his job back
Cape Argus
|September 19, 2025
WESLEY Neumann, the former principal of Heathfield High School, is set to return to the Labour Court today as he fights for reinstatement against the Western Cape Education Department (WCED).

This David and Goliath battle unfolds as Neumann's counsel presents his grounds for review, following the WCED's arguments.
Closing arguments will be heard at the Labour Court in Cape Town.
According to the head of the department at the time, Brian Schreuder, Neumann went against directives he had issued, which instructed that every Grade 12 pupil be physically at school every day of the week from August 3, 2020, until the commencement of their National Senior Certificate exams.
Despite his reservations about the directives issued, which related to health and safety concerns during the first wave of the pandemic, evidence in disciplinary proceedings confirmed that Neumann complied with informing pupils and staff to return to school.
