Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane overturns principal's decision to bar pupil from school.
"The learner's mother arrived at the public protector's office in Polokwane on January 9 2019, alleging that the school principal refused to enrol her child despite her having applied on time," said Mkhwebane's spokesperson Oupa Segalwe.
Mkhwebane's office said it took into consideration the mother's frustration and the child's interests and as a result opened a file and conducted a preliminary investigation.
