It was reported by Pretoria News that after the local officials had arrived, the principal locked herself in her office and they will be remaining on the grounds to prevent the situation from escalating any further.
The parents have also remained outside while waiting for the Intervention Unit of the Department of Education officials to arrive, who were said to be on their way. They have also said that whether there is further intervention or not, the principal must go and they want feedback today.

These extreme actions come after there was an alleged message that had been circulating amongst the parents that had caused some distress.
Parents had been told that the school had been dealing with a lot of teachers resigning and in one single month, multiple teachers left at once. There have also been rumours that the principal had been running the school by instilling fear into not only learners, but teachers as well. She apparently did not show any respect to her fellow educators.

The parents also claim to have a voice clip that will prove that they are telling the truth, although the principal has defended herself and said she never shouts.
Our kids are exposed to a toxic work environment when their teachers are bullied day in and out and parents are treated like nobodies by the principal. The principal withheld the results and announcement of a new School Governing Body, while she continues to do as she likes with appointing contractors and service providers without contracts. The previous financial budget was presented without actuals. Some concerned parents drafted a memorandum of demands to the principal and set a deadline but the principal ignored the deadlines and answered after hearing we are now after her
At the end of the day, the focus should be on the children's education, although the parents have used unconventional methods to get their message across and this is not the best example as to how this situation should be handled.
