A 13-year-old learner has been removed from Crowthorne Christian Academy in Midrand, Johannesburg for having dreadlocks. In a viral video captured on camera, the teen and her mother are seen being pushed out of a classroom by a male school official, who accused the teen of violating the school's new hair policy. The incident at the Academy has since conjured discussions about Zulaikha Patel, a teen activist who led a Pretoria Girls High protest against the school's hair policy after she was barred from class for having an afro. For more on this Elvis Presslin spoke to Frans Ngobeni, a Member of the EFF Gauteng Provincial Command Team responsible for Education, who have been protesting at the school
