Dozens of schools across South Africa have recently faced allegations of racist incidents from former and current pupils amid global Black Lives Matter protests.
Students from former Model C schools in Gauteng, the Western and Eastern Cape as well as KwaZulu-Natal and others have posted their experiences of alleged racism at their schools by teachers and fellow students alike.
Some schools involved in these allegations include Trinityhouse Randpark Ridge in Gauteng, Wynberg Girls' High, Bishops Diocesan College, Herschel Girls' School all in the Western Cape and Clarendon High School for Girls in the Eastern Cape.
The executive head of the school, Marianne Bailey, said she understood emotions were running high, and it would be engaging in Conversation Circles to provide a platform for current pupils to raise these issues, the report added.
The school governing body for Clarendon High School for Girls in the Eastern Cape said it accepted difficult truths must be heard, adding it would institute a committee to create a platform to raise issues of racism.

Oliver Tambo , (born October 27, 1917, Bizana, Pondoland district, Transkei [now in Eastern Cape], South Africa—died April 24, 1993, Johannesburg), president of the South African black-nationalist African National Congress (ANC) between 1967 and 1991.
William Plomer , (born Dec. 10, 1903, Transvaal, S.Af.—died Sept. 21, 1973, Lewes, East Sussex, Eng.), South African-born British man of letters, whose writing covered many genres: poetry, novels, short stories, memoirs, and even opera librettos.
Plomer was educated in England but returned with his family to South Africa after World War I. His experience as an apprentice on a remote farm in the eastern Cape when he was 17 alerted him to the literary possibilities of the South African landscape and established the sensibility of his early works. His first novel, Turbott Wolfe (1925), caused a scandal because it touched upon miscegenation and dared to criticize the supposed benevolence of whites toward blacks, even casting some white characters in the role of villains. I Speak of Africa (1927), a collection of short stories, exacerbated his reputation. In collaboration with Laurens Van Der Post and the iconoclastic poet Roy Campbell, he founded a magazine called Voorslag (“Whiplash”) with which he intended to excoriate South African racist society. Public outrage silenced the journal, and Plomer and Campbell left the country.
Plomer travelled in Japan and Europe before returning to England, where to all intents he became a British man of letters, though some of his work continued to draw upon his travels. In England he wrote two dramatic novels about London, The Case Is Altered (1932) and The Invaders (1934). Additional publications included a semifictional memoir, Museum Pieces (1952), and three volumes of family and personal memoirs, Double Lives (1943), At Home (1958), and Autobiography of William Plomer (1975). Between 1938 and 1940 he edited three volumes of the diaries of the Victorian clergyman Francis Kilvert. His association with the British composer Benjamin Britten began with the opera Gloriana (1953) and continued with librettos for the cantatas Curlew River (1964), The Burning Fiery Furnace (1966), and Prodigal Son (1968). One of his major achievements was Collected Poems (1960).

According to Raw Story an officer of the Mount Vernon police department turned whistle blower decided to do the right thing and took audio evidence over to the Gothamist and WNYC-FM that captured conversations between authorities in which they discuss not only framing innocent residents, but also beating them while collaborating with local drug dealers.
12-year department veteran Murashea Bovell had been fighting the good fight for years as a member of the Mount Vernon PD but knew it was all for not without having something “tangible.”
Though he’s already turned over the damning tapes over to Westchester District Attorney Anthony Scarpino, the 12-year veteran isn’t exactly sure how things will pan out given the history of police misconduct constantly getting overlooked or even forgiven in America.
“I’ve taken the proper steps, protocols, to let city leaders, police department leaders know what was happening,” Bovell said.

A statement outlining the effects of the virus showed the Eastern Cape recorded 35 deaths out of the 74 new cases recorded.
That had to have been the case as the South developed a civic religion to justify its racism, and Walter Wink has suggested, rightly so, that there are words of Jesus that some to many Christians are just not going to abide by.
They are definitely difficult and unpleasant sometimes, and for many, the words of Jesus helped create a religion that is weak, as weak as is the concept of democracy.
Many people – on the conservative side – seem to want a king, not a president who follows the commands of God, and on the progressive side, there often seems to be a reluctance to follow Jesus’ distasteful and difficult words, even as they work for justice.
The founders were aware of Christianity and grew up going to church, but they purposefully avoided using the word “God” in the Constitution and many shied away from the notion of and belief in Jesus the Christ as a mystical figure.
The Gospel of Jesus changes lives and creates community, even if the people are reluctant to do so; cultural or civic religion, by contrast, seems to create division as it works to uphold its cultural beliefs in the name of God.
