Clarence Ford unpacks the long-standing battle of former Heathfield high school principal Wesley Neumann against the Western Cape Education Department.
CAPE TOWN - Education activists are gearing up for a showdown against the Western Cape Education Department in the case of embattled former principal Wesley Neumann.
Neumann has been challenging his dismissal and with persistent protests from learners and teachers at the school, the case continues to make news headlines. Local education activists in support of Neumann are fighting tooth and nail against the department and a new organisation called the Special Action Committee has been established.
Nadeem Hendricks, Special Action Committee member Hendricks said they've consulted widely on the Neumann matter and are confident he has a watertight case. There was no real just cause to dismiss Mr Neumann as he was acting in the best interest of the teachers and the learners. And to be punished by the department is an onslaught to the people of this province. We tried to meet with the former MEC to deal with this matter and she blatantly refused, making this more of a political thing than a labour issue. So we're very disappointed.
