Public Protector intervenes after self-employed woman's child denied place at school
Cape Town - Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwabane has come to the aid of a Limpopo woman whose daughter was refused admission to a local school because the mother was self-employed.
The public protector opened an investigation into the matter and made contact with the school principal. During the course of the preliminary investigation, Mkhwabane "determined that the principal’s conduct was improper in that the child could not be denied admission on the basis that the mother was self-employed.
Given the mother’s frustration and having taken into account the best interests of the child, the Public Protector opened a file, conducted a preliminary investigation and raised the matter with the school principal.
