Principal in hot water over racial remarks


Johannesburg – The principal of Wordsworth High School in Benoni is due to appear at a disciplinary hearing in two weeks, the Gauteng education department said on Wednesday.

Annelize Horn faces a charge of misconduct for allegedly making racial remarks, department spokesperson Phumla Sekhonyane said in a statement.

In November, eNCA reported Horn allegedly called black girls dirty during school assembly and sent a note to parents complaining they only washed their hair once a month. Horn was suspended after the allegation emerged.

  1. Racism is rearing it’s ugly head day by day,
    Action after action,
    Story after story,
    Comment after comment,
    It’s time to do what they do in parts of Europe,
    some kind of citizenship test to help focus on the nation and not on themselves, or
    swear allegiance to the country as they do in America.
    Something must me done to shake the racially complacent amongst us.
    Crimes of racism must be taken to the courts and dealt with harshly.
