South Africa’s leftwing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party protested outside Brackenfell High School, which came under heavy criticism on social media after it emerged that white parents of students at the school allegedly hosted a high school prom without inviting any students of colour.

A group of EFF supporters gathered outside the school and were met by a contingent of parents, armed security and police.

Veronica Mente, the chairperson of the EFF in the Cape Town metro area, entered the school in order to talk to the principal of the school and has called for the firing of the two teachers who attended the event.

While the principal and Mente held their meeting, there were heated confrontations outside the school when EFF members started singing “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer” which is classed as hate speech in South Africa.
