Staff embark on work-to-rule campaign at Westville school, SGB demands action
The Mercury
|August 28, 2025
WHILE some staff embarked on work-to-rule action at the Westville Senior Primary School, the school governing body (SGB) has demanded the immediate suspension of the principal.
In a legal letter to the department, seen by The Mercury, the SGB said it was “patently clear” that the principal should have faced charges of serious misconduct, including the alleged victimisation and humiliation of staff, sexist remarks, and theft of school property.
The letter demanded the principal's immediate suspension and disciplinary charges.
“We have been instructed to demand from you, as we hereby do, that you suspend (the principal) with immediate effect and that you charge him with misconduct. If you fail to do so, our client will approach the High Court for an order to compel you to do so once it has approval from its parents to reallocate funds in its budget, following the budget meeting scheduled for 25 August 2025”
On Friday, the SGB informed parents that 51 of the school’s 61 staff members would join a “work-to-rule” campaign. The three-day action from Monday ended yesterday.

South Africa’s G20 moment exposes deep cracks at home and abroad
OUR COUNTRY is not in the space it should be in. As a host of G20 we would have loved to be a shining star that had dealt poverty a blow, a place where corruption was dealt with firmly, where children have a brighter future, taps are not only running but are oozing label blue water, with smooth streets, where women feel safe, and children are assured of a meal daily.

Hooray for my English teacher who taught me satire
FOR those pupils that played hooky to catch fish while educators were teaching \"metaphors\" \"irony\", \"sarcasm\", etc, and others who missed my tongue-in-cheek take in The Mercury last week regarding the \"swarms\" of Palestinians who would soon not only invade our free country, take-over all our green fields, set up their throne in New Pretoria, and even shunt all of us \"indigenous\" Indian, White and Black people into a fenced off area in the northern Cape, after the international powers that be justified all of that, by \"just saying\" that the \"Palestinians were always here\" and were, in present-time, actually experiencing a holocaust of their own, back home, so really deserved to be freely commuted here: Excuse me!
