Women and emotions are intertwined and can't be separated. I've seen a female Small claims court commissioner overlooking documentary evidence entirely and going after a male claimant who was suing a female client that had refused to pay and had distorted facts in her narration of events. Moreover, she came to court without a single piece of paper. So the sisterhood bond is real.

So many red flags here: 1. The school has 8+ bank accounts and only one person sees something wrong with that? And that coincidentally is the person who everyone is making accusations against? And it's only the ones employed by the SGB? Coincidence too? 2. Despite the man having beat the allegations through a formal process.... 3. ...even Maasa was willing to come into the interview with what seemed to me like a biased view. I found that "I saw the trauma in these women" comment particularly weird coming from a journalist and based on a single interaction with the alleged victims? Not even an actual psychology professional would make such a bold statement. The "academy award-winning comment" too. 4. The child suffers from a lifelong condition but the accepted trigger for his current state is a single interaction with the principal? 5. There was no real effort to investigate his claims. The main focus of this interview is allegations against the headmaster and all other parties interviewed are regarding those one-sided allegation? Even if the guy is lying, nobody thought to look into his claims as investigative journalists?

[@RhulaniMdluli]

While the interviewer seemed intent on portraying the principal in a negative light, there was insufficient focus on the actual issue at hand. It appears that the principal may, in fact, be a victim of the School Governing Body (SGB) for speaking out. When the principal clarified that his remarks about the “starfish joke” were secondary, I expected the interviewer to delve deeper into the context of those comments. This report feels reminiscent of media coverage that has, in the past, harmed the reputations and careers of many public figures due to a lack of thorough understanding. If all the allegations are true, please take your time to understand all the sides before broadcasting such nonsense.

[@LM-he7eb]

Exactly. It says a lot that he is willing to admit part of that, besides there being no evidence. He could've just denied it & there would be no proof. Maybe the teacher only felt victimized after he did it, because of his tone & the laughter. This seems like a "You can't sit with us" club. He is a Joburger, who was not hired by the SGB. I think the SGB has their eye on someone, who'll help them continue these alleged fraud. I would've loved to know where the money in those accounts comes from, who it does to, when they were opened & who opened them. I'd like to know why the previous principal left & his connection to the SBG. I'd like to know what the stuff from Bragin's previous school think of him. I want to know WHEN that mom started searching for alternative education for his son & if he is clinically diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I'd like to know if other teachers had a problem with that boy's conduct I would've liked the journalist to confirm if indeed all the accused are private hires. I want to know what the government hires think of him

Definitely one of the weaker carte Blanche investigations I've seen. Doubt this man is completely innocent, but pinning a childs anxiety and a grown mans depression on one man is strange and unfair to people who genuinely suffer from these mental illnesses.

Well said. It’s making a mockery of real issues just to gain sympathy support for the what the SGB have done to a Principal who dared to query something in a school that’s been running for 130 years. In this day and age social media has allowed everyone to be part of the issue as the SGB and its alliance has used social media to spread the lies and propaganda. It’s shocking that they used these cheap shots against the Principal - anxiety issues and depression are real issues in this day and age 😢

If hes done it here, hes probably done it at his previous schools, should be some people at those schools complaining also? Just a thought.

Usually Carte Blanche would have explored that angle. It's quite suspicious imo that even they seemed to pick a side and didn't even bother to explore the other side. There are two stories, which could both be true but a choice was made to draw a firm line

I normally love Carte Blanhce interviews but in this case the Interviewer was very biased in favour os the SGB and the females. I say this as a female. I agree with the comments below that suggest the same opinion and I echo what another comment said @Preppie-thirty, "He was investigated and found not guilty but the sgb was illegally operating 8 bank accounts, a few of which were not reported in the financials. Carte blanche looking very bias in this interview., "

Big up to the Principal. He is a Leader, at times he will display his frustration, most people do. The sgb must respond to act of acting outside the prescripts of the sa school's act. Why more than 8 bank accounts?

My impression as well. What a warrior. As for Gift, with the resources Merchiston pour into their sporting programs, they've been grossly underachieving. Maybe Bragin has a point.

[@Elfin1993]

Sorry how do you know what kind of leader he makes? Do you attend Merchiston? Are you an employee?

[@Lee-r6s]

@@Elfin1993are you Elf. You very busy trying to push your narrative ??? Do you work there - hey hey also SGB employee maybe ??

Why do school SGBs have so much power ?

[@Trenchwarsoldier-x5v]

I don’t disavow SGBs they are the best model for school governance! However SGBs shouldn’t be politically aligned DA feminists, they should have equal representation of both working and non working parents on both sides of the political spectrum! Sadly it’s mainly all stay at home divorced moms who hate men on these SGBs… it’s been that way for 4 decades now

Who is fooling who here ..Award winning acting indeed

[@kefodilebutimphahlele5910]

The victims sound petty to me and over exaggerat everything, everyone is just depressed coz of their superior all of the sudden, gotta think twice right there.

The man is a cleaner, and is wearing a mask. #Relentless

The investigation was poor yoh.... but it would be interesting if you continued we want to get to the button of this.

[@ryleighslife1966]

Biased reporting... every questuon to the principal had a tone of i dont believe you and your lying before you speak. I know somebody who almost ended in prison because of false reporting. Luckily the liars didnt think the lie through before it didnt make sense anymore.

[@blankmedia01]

The interviewer was very biased. Im not saying he's innocent, but something isn't right. This is problematic on all accounts.
