The three minute video clip shows three groups of children – one white, one black and one mixed group.
Executive Head of Curro Roodeplaat John Bissett said in a circular to parents and guardians that a group of grade R pupils went on an outing to Setshaba Safaris in the beginning of June and were transported in two buses – a 65-seater and a 30-seater.
“Three English classes were transported in the 65-seater, with class sizes being 17, 17 and 18. Two Afrikaans classes were transported in the 30-seater with class sizes being 13 and 11. A video taken of this outing showed the various groups of pupils and with no explanation assumed that the groupings were organised according to race. Why did they arrive at this false conclusion? The reason is because Curro schools offer all their pupils the choice of being taught in English of Afrikaans.”
