Three KwaZulu-Natal teachers who allegedly racially insulted their Indian principal have been moved to other schools while the department searches for replacements, an official said on Monday.
So the teachers have been moved to other teaching posts?

OMG......... it was pseudo models now it has moved to teachers...........
Sh!t I dont see this ending.......... maybe this whole race debacle is a reflection of our society... we really need to do some introspection.
I thought in 2012 we will be talking/discussing about how to improve mzansi (technologicaly, scientifically, economically) for future generation to have fruitful lives......... but alas it is still race......... Report Abuse
These raci-al slurs are everywhere, only a few get reported and published. There's some deep rooted intolerance among SAns, mostly hidden due to workplace regulations. People seem to always be quick to hurl a racial/tribalist insult rather than focus on the person. Words like red nek, maku-la, is'lwane, le-thosa come to mind, to some people these are normal way of referring to others. it's about time govie plublishes a gazette with all words, phrases, songs that are considered offensive for distribution to schools and public places; maybe if its drilled in from school level we might get somewhere.

Can we all just stop .taunting.... and agree that every r.ace has SOME c.razy people (r.acists)... and that we must not judge the WHOLE r.ace on the things that a few people do??
Most people just want a better life and want to get on with one another.
The next news will be a c.hinese man who r.acially a.buse a b.razilian. But i'm still going to eat c.hinese food... and still going to shave my .brazilian :P
