"The head of a leading #SouthAfrican private #school has been dismissed following an #antisemitism controversy sparked by the cancellation of a sports fixture with a #Jewish school.

According to the SA Jewish Report, #RoedeanSchool’s Senior School Head, #PhutiMogale, left her post with immediate effect after a crisis meeting this week, with the publication reporting that she had in fact been dismissed earlier.

The development follows the emergence of a leaked audio recording – first revealed by The Common Sense – which appeared to undermine Roedean’s public explanation for cancelling a scheduled tennis fixture with #KingDavidLinksfield, a prominent Jewish #dayschool in #Johannesburg."

"#RoedeanSchool, a top #Johannesburg private girls’ school, is facing allegations of #antisemitism after its first-team #tennis side refused to play scheduled tennis matches against players from #KingDavidLinksfield (#KDL) because they were #Jewish.

The incident has sparked outrage, forced high-level inter-#school engagements, and raised alarming questions about alleged #discrimination taking place at the school. It has also ignited antisemitism online.

The SA Jewish Report has in its possession a verified recording of a conversation that took place between King David Principal #LorraineSrage and a member of #Roedean’s staff, in which the latter explains that the school is under pressure from its parent body not to play KDL.

She told #Srage, “We are facing a bit of pressure from our community and our constituents regarding not playing against #KingDavid. So It’s almost like what’s happening out in society is now affecting us at school level.”.
