This was following multiple protests near the school’s premises that ended in violence. The school approached the courts after the EFF had threatened to continue with their action.
The protests came after an alleged private event, held by the school’s parents, hosted only white students, and allegedly did not invite black students.
Advocate Dali Mpofu, for the EFF, said while children should be protected, it must be from “imbibing racism”, not, “cocooning them from stun grenades”.
He pointed out that it was common cause that the EFF had twice in November protested peacefully against racism, the second time coming under attack by “racism hooligans and vigilantes”.
