SA: Ermelo Afrikaans High School faces ethnic-cleansing campaign by Education Department

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Afrikaner principal Jacobus Kruger suspended for defending pro-Afrikaans language rights at Ermelo High…

Education department spokesman Hlahla Ngwenya said they have today suspended Ermelo Afrikaans High School Jacobus Kruger and he ‘had been instructed to stay away from the school administration block unless given authorisation by regional director Nokuthula Mthethwa.”

Mr Kruger would get a “disciplinary hearing’ on January 30.

The Afrikaner-rights organisation Afriforum is meanwhile actively giving its backing to the school’s ongoing attempts to maintain its primarily Afrikaans-language curriculum rights.

Afriforum has launched an email campaign asking people to email the minister of education about this civil-rights issue — and Afrikaans parents are also being actively encouraged to send their children to these schools.

The school was founded in 1914 by Rev. Paul Nel — at a time when Afrikaners were still widely forced into English-only educational systems under the then-government — with five teachers and 78 pupils, mostly from rural areas, housed in hostels. They carry as slogan: “Proudly Afrikaans”:

Earlier this week Ngwenya told the news media that ‘ the department was unhappy to learn that this year’s intake of 75 Grade 8 English-speaking pupils had not started lessons yet because they were placed in the school hall due to a lack of space. “

Ermelo Afrikaans High School’s parent-teachers board has rebelled against being forced to become a so-called dual-language medium school because the school would lose its unique Afrikaans cultural character and history.

Of course they teach English-language lessons as part of the normal curriculum – but the main language of education is conducted in Afrikaans.

There are now very few educational facilities left in South Africa where Afrikaners can still be taught in their own home-language due to the government’s deliberate anti-Afrikaans policies. The universities are suffering from the same government harassment, aimed at banning Afrikaans from public life permanently. Afrikaans is however one of the country’s twelve official languages under the SA Constitution and Afrikaans cultural bodies are still putting up a valiant fight, trying to stop the ethnic-cleansing of their schools.

The department last year forced Ermelo High School to become an English-language educational institution by enrolling 20 English-speaking black students at the school. And this year another 75 English-speakers were forced onto the school.

On Wednesday the chairman of the school governing body, Johan Ernst, explained that the school had no English-speaking teachers (i.e. as their home-language), no appropriate text books and also no space to accommodate this latest intake of 75 new English-only speaking pupils.

The twenty English-speaking children who were enrolled last year could still be accommodated but the school board now faced having to add extra classrooms and extra teachers to accommodate these students — who moreover have the choice of other English-medium schools nearby they could have enrolled in instead.

WHY DOESN’T THE SA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION SPEAK UP FOR AFRIKANER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS?

The taxpayer-funded SA Human Rights commission describes itself as the ‘national institution to entrench constitutional democracy; committed topromoting respect for, observance of and protection of human rights for everyone without fear or favour…’
From all its press-releases and reports, it is clear however that it only ‘protects the rights’ of black individuals and black groups and remains TOTALLY SILENT whenever any human rights of South African whites are being violated…
