South Africa: Badly performing schools blame witchcraft

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.

The principals said that the learners did not trust each other, and they believed that there are learners within the schools who are bewitching them. Their principals claimed to the MEC the reason for their under-performance was “witchcraft”, department spokesman Joseph Mabuza said.

“The principals said that the learners did not trust each other, and they believed that there are learners within the schools who are bewitching them.

“They alleged that on some of the school days, some learners collapse and get confused after recovering,” he said.

MEC Vusi Shongwe meanwhile is calling on teachers and parents to make sure children attend classes, and for pupils to form study groups to improve their results.

He is also calling for the municipality to help schools with logistical needs such as water and grass cutting equipment.
