The education department of South Africa’s Western Cape province has cleared Brackenfell High School of racism allegations made against its administration.
The row centred on a graduation party to which it was alleged that only white people were invited.
A provincial official, Debbie Schäfer, said the party had not been organised by the school but was a private event which had a 100-guest limit because of Covid-19 regulations.
The allegation caused an uproar online and the Economic Freedom Fighters party, held demonstrations outside the school in Cape Town.
But Brackenfell High distanced itself from the party and rejected accusations that it discriminated against black students.
