Following the violent protests at the Afrikaans only Hoërskool Overvaal in Vereeniging this week, a resident has posted a video ranting about the media.
He’s accused the media of being sensational and ignoring the real problems.
The protest was sparked by a Pretoria high court ruling that the Afrikaans medium school did not have space to take in 55 English speaking learners.
The latest video shows community members cleaning up after the protest.
The resident was critical of the media and referred to racial divisions saying: “Where is the media now when the white Afrikaaner is busy cleaning the mess that these people make. Media is not here, media is just here for sensation that’s all. This is got to do with race, nothing to do with Afrikaans and English. Here it is the evidence of what they have done, destroying. The only thing they can do is destroy.”
