Wentworth community continue school protest

Residents in Wentworth say they'll continue with their peaceful protest outside the Austerville Primary School, south of Durban until they get answers.

Parents have picketed outside the school for 11 days. 


They want the newly appointed principal to be replaced by the school's long serving deputy. 


Ward councillor, Aubrey Snyman has joined parents on several occasions. He says education officials visited the school yesterday.


"The director of the Department of Education, Mr. Ntuli accompanied by Mr. Cetshwayo arrived under police escort to host a meeting. We as community members have not been made aware of what the meeting is all about," he said.  


The department told Newswatch earlier this month that there're no reserved posts and any candidate who performs well during interviews can be successful.
