The meeting between Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi and parents at Jan Viljoen high school has been rescheduled for Sunday. The meeting was supposed to hold on Thursday but was rained out.

It was called, after allegations of racism at Jan Viljoen surfaced. Before the meeting was rescheduled black and white parents argued once again.

White parents were at loggerheads with black parents where the meeting was expected to take place.

With both sides throwing invectives before police calmed the situation. Some parents claim the issue at the school is not racial, but one of discipline.
