'Unruly' parents' fight to keep kids in prestigious Joburg school reaches Concourt TheStar_news
Johannesburg - A case about whether a prestigious Joburg private school can expel two eight-year-old boys for the alleged misconduct of their parents has landed in the Constitutional Court. Dragging on for a third year in court, the battle between Pridwin Preparatory School and AB and CB - as the parents are called in affidavits to protect the identities of the learners - has reached the Concourt.
During an under-9s cricket match between Pridwin and Crawford College on November 10, 2015, the dad allegedly accosted an umpire with a cricket bat and called him a “fat” man who does not respect parents. AB and CB, an accountant dad and psychiatrist mom, want the court to rule that schools have no power to expel learners for their parents' misconduct.
“Very few of those children or their parents would ever be able to access court, let alone this court, to challenge their expulsion.”
