Tensions were high outside Hoërskool Jan Viljoen in Randfontein on Monday morning as parents stood divided across racial lines over allegations of racism at the school.
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi was visiting the school following a fight between pupils, an incident alleged to be racially motivated.
As Lesufi was inside the school meeting with the governing body and the principal, a large contingency of private security was trying to keep pupils within the school premises and protesting parents out.
