Xolilizwe Senior Secondary School in Nqadu, between Willowale and Dutywa, announced this policy on its Facebook page earlier this month.
The school also recommended that parents have the tests done at a local clinic at a cost of R200 for a drug test and R50 for a pregnancy test. The response to this controversial policy has been mixed. According to reports, no parents are unhappy about the drug tests, but the pregnancy test is another matter.
