Brackenfell: EFF vow to ‘teach racists humility like they did in Senekal’

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have vowed to do everything in their power to totally halt operations at Brackenfell High School on Friday 20 November as they continue their protest against the racism-accused school.

Following complaints received by the Red Berets in the Western Cape from parents of black students at the school, calls have been raised for the principal to resign, and protests turned ugly when parents of students clashed with members last week, leading to one arrest and the emergence of South Africa’s latest hotspot for racial tension.

EFF vow to shut down Brackenfell

The EFF said on their official twitter account on Tuesday 17 November that the previous incidents of violence that unfolded outside the gates of the school in question were “terror attacks” that cannot go unanswered.

We did say that the terror attacks in Brackenfell will not go unanswered. On Friday we will descend and ensure that nothing operates.
They have pushed us, and they must prepare to be pushed harder.

Exams rescheduled ahead of protest

A subsequent tweet warned that anyone standing in their way would be ‘taught the same humility” as the EFF believe they dished out in Senegal in the Free State, where members of the party defended in October to counter-protest against farmers following the killing of 21-year-old Brendin Horner.
