Robben Island museum denies media reports

By Busisiwe Mtabane

The Robben Island Museum head of communications has denied media reports that a family has been banned from the Island. Palesa Morudu’s statement comes a week after reports that a family was banned from the Island after their minor son allegedly assaulted a ten-year-old girl from another family residing on the Island.
The families involved work for the department of Public Works and the National Ports Authority. Morudu says the boy’s father volunteered to take his son on a holiday out of town until the matter is settled.
