The WCED must stop crucifying our teachers and principals. Mr Neumann is a principled principal that cares for his community and he is trying everything in his power to restore Heathfield High to its former glory. The WCED should stop its bullying tactics! You are the driving force that promotes inequality. Our children deserve an education department that governs in the best interest of our teachers and learners. Its evidently clear that its not Mr Neumann that lacks leadership, it is the WCED.

I'm a student at heatfield and appreciate and respect all changes and handwork that happen at Heatfield because of Mr Nuemann

I believe in fairness and transparency in leadership and inclusion of all stakeholders. The SGB did the right thing by challenging a system that only considers the priviledged. Equal education for all. Don't be petty and scapegoat the Principal of Heathfield High. We say no to bullying tackticks..No to the abuse of power.
The WCED should be praising Mr Neumann he identified a gap in the education system and stood his ground together with the school community a true servant leader.I wish him all the best The WCED needs more leaders like the 4 principals. I am the product of Healthfield high and have experience of the inequality in the education system. Doing the right thing sometimes means going against the system. The system needs to be challenged if its needs re-engeneering.Debbie take this one on the chin and make Wesley Neumann part of your team.

Principal Wesley Neumann acted in the best interest of his school children and staff. He has my full support. This is nothing but a witch hunt, to bring to book which the powers that be see as persons who do not abide by their '' rules''. Very much baaskap mentality. Please, get into the 21st century WCED. This is a man of high regard and much esteem within his Community and school Heathfield High School where he is Principal at. An Injury to one is an Injury to ALL.

I believe this witchhunt on our principals and Teachers must stop, especially those who still have the courage to stand up and advocate for the interest of children from disadvantaged communities, a leader is defined by the position he holds in a time of controversy. When he choose the side of the poor when it is not a fashion to do so, and Mr Neumann has been that leader. 👊🏾

He stood up for what was right, what his first priority was learner and teachers safety. Can't say that about the education department, squandering millions where it could have been put to better use in the school. Mr. Neumann is a legend and will always be...

His concern and responsibility is towards the children, a custodian to which he was called and appointed. This I can only respect, admire and strive towards. Well done Principal Wesley Neumann, your principles and courage in caring and saving my son from a possibly disastrous reality doesn't go unnoticed.

I disagree with WCED's treatment of Mr Neumann. Mr Neumann is a man of integrity & he has strong leadership abilities. In his short tennure at Heathfield High, he has made a huge difference in the lives of his teachers, learner's & the greater community. Allowing the WCED to get away with their autocratic, bullying tactics must NOT happen. Our schools need leaders like Mr Neumann!!! He is a treasure.

Teachers and Principal's voices should taken into consideration, particularly with clear moral issues. Bullying and victimization of Educators who express their opinion should never occur nor be a route used by the Education Department to silence, or worse.. get rid of principled Educators.

I think children are taking advantage of the fact that they can not be disciplined at school, though some teacher take advantage of their power again. However, pointing a finger is not assault. We were disciplined when we were out of line, the child should be suspended for being intoxicated. I also believe that Covid 19 is no joke and agree that schools should've been closed in the heat of the pandemic as clearly there was no guaranteeing their safety. Nothing can replace a life if it is lost.

Erfaan Isaacs (Cape Town, 2020-09-29)

The education department is once again trying to silence those educators who do not want to toe their line. It has been ongoing for decades, same old tactics as the apartheid government, bullying/ kragdadig . They fail to address the illegal appointment of their own who is instrumental in trying to discipline the PRINCPAL . They need to realize that the PRINCIPAL is a principled person looking out for his staff, pupils and the broader community.

He had the courage to stand up and tell the truth. Not like so many our sheep that closed their eyes to WCED and their idiotic policies. In any other country he would be hailed as a leader but in this DA lead province they do not allow people to disagree with them

I hate bullying andr. Neumann is being bullied.

Rafeeq Kajie (Cape Town, 2020-09-29)

Principal Neumann took seriously a public health matter (During CoVID19) that all parents supported, and which the WC Government and the Democratic Alliance did not heed.

In the end the President closed down the schools for several weeks.

I believe that the President's actions moots the entire case.

Furthermore, we need more people like Principal Neumann in South African Basic education department. We do not need an inept organisation disciplining a principal for doing the RIGHT THING... for doing something that they should have escalated.

I’m signing this petition to show my support for freedom of speech and to stop the bullying and intimidation tactics of the Western Cape Education Department and Debbie Schafer.

#197

I support Mr Wesley Neumann as his intentions were pure and without malice..The WCED is suppose to be the "parent" department of the schools who inturn look after and educate children. Why should Wesley Neumann be prosecuted for standing up for children, is it safe to assume that WCED is NOT looking after the well being of our children?? Is this a right reserved for elite schools only?? Did the DA forget who voted them into power in the Western Cape??
