Media Advisory: The South African Human Rights Commission to Conduct a Site Inspection of Ekurhuleni School for the Deaf

18 June 2021
Attention: Editors and Reporters

On Monday, 21 June 2021, the South African Human Rights Commission (“The Commission”) will conduct a site inspection of the Ekurhuleni School for the Deaf in Katlehong. The Commission has initiated an investigation following recent protests at the school over lack of nutritional meals for learners living with disability, lack of hot water and overcrowding at the school.

The Commission’s inspection seeks to test the correctness of these claims and to evaluate the extent to which the school environment is conducive for teaching and learning.

The Inspection will take place as follows:
Date: 21 June 2021
Time: 11h00
Venue: Ekurhuleni School for the Deaf, Katlehong
