Yesterday parents picketed outside Qingqa Mtwana Primary in Crossroads, holding the gate closed and barring teachers from entering the property.

They want a new school principal and have accused the school’s head of being unreachable and unprofessional.

While they had lodged a complaint with the Western Cape Education Department, parents and teachers said they had not yet received a response.

The Education Department’s head of communication Paddy Atwell says District Officials are aware of the issues at the school.
