Clarrisa Venter
summoned back to court six months after charges of assault have been dropped.
She was served with the
summon on Tuesday by the police. 34 year old Clarrisa is to appear in Wynberg magistrates
court on 11 March 2020.
Venter’s lawyer was
surprised by the summon after months of representation before the charges were
dropped. The lawyer had said that they cannot recharge his client; the case was
withdrawn by the chief Wynberg procecutor.
It was said that the
reason for the attack was provocation. The pupil was asked to stop playing with
her cell phone in class and later was asked to leave the classroom. The pupil
refused to leave, pushed her desk towards Ms Venter and charged at her. Ms
Venter said she acted lawfully.
The lawyer said the pupils’
mother brought an application before the equity court against San Souci, Ms Venter,
the Western Cape and the National Minister of the Education for being racist
when dealing with the case.
