Video: Parents beat each other outside Witbank Technical High School in Mpumalanga
Parents at the Witbank Technical High School in Emalahleni exchanged fists as protests about alleged racism at the school turned violent.
Last week the Department of Education went to the school following a fight between pupils.
This comes after black pupils claimed they were always on the receiving end of racism.
Speaking out on the allegations of racism at the school, pupils said every time an incident happens at the school, they are told it will be sorted, but it never is.
One of the parents told Newzroom Afrika that they were fighting at the school because most of the black pupils were allegedly being treated unfairly by the Afrikaans teachers.
While a white parent told the channel that the fight was not motivated by racism, but they claimed the black parents were turning the situation into a racism issue.
