Western Cape Education Department Probes Alleged Racial Incident

The Western Cape Education Department is investigating an alleged racist incident that occurred during an interschools rugby match between Fairmont High School and Settlers High School.

A video circulating on social media shows the referee ending the match prematurely following allegations that a racial slur was used by a participant.

Both schools have requested that the public refrain from sharing the footage while the investigation is underway, warning that further dissemination of the video could lead to legal consequences.
