Kaya 959 Point of View with Phemelo Motene

Racism is still rife in South Africa’s schools. What can be done about it?

Loading player...
It’s 2022, almost 28 years into South Africa’s democratic dispensation, and racism is still playing out in the country’s schools. In light of the violent altercation between pupils at Hoërskool Jan Viljoen in Randfontein, this has brought these issues to light once again. To discuss what happened at the school, how schools can move forward, and more – we are joined by Asanda Ngoasheng, Political Analyst and Diversity Expert; Nosipho Radebe, Kaya 959 reporter; Oupa Bodibe, Acting Spokesperson for the Gauteng Department of Education; and parents of the school.
