Westville Senior Primary School saga must be investigated

THE DA has submitted written parliamentary questions to KwaZulu-Natal Education MEC, Sipho Hlomuka, following his department's failure to provide answers or closure despite numerous serious, longstanding allegations against the current principal at Westville Senior Primary.

The allegations, by parents and staff, include administrative mismanagement, deteriorating staff morale and inappropriate sexual comments. This matter has now dragged on for more than three years, to the detriment of learners, parents, educators and school staff. Despite repeated assurances by KZN's Department of Education (DoE) that the matter was under investigation, the department is yet to finalise or disclose the outcomes of the processes it claims to have undertaken.
