Dear Honourable Minister Gwarube
Urgent Call to Suspend Principal: Petition to Address Allegations Against Port Alfred High School Principal
I am writing to bring your attention to a petition naming you as a critical decision-maker in resolving the allegations of sexual harassment against the Principal of Port Alfred High School.
I deeply appreciate your efforts to prompt the Eastern Cape Department of Education to commence an investigation at the end of 2024. However, many in the community strongly believe that the Principal should have been suspended immediately to allow for a transparent and impartial investigation into these serious allegations.
I am respectfully urging you to ensure the Principal's immediate suspension. This step is essential to ensure accountability, uphold the integrity of the investigation, and demonstrate a firm commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for everyone at the school.

Sincerely,
Pierre le Roux
