Teacher in hot water for identifying as African

Glen Snyman, a teacher and founder of People Against Race Classification, is reportedly facing disciplinary action, for claiming to be African, rather than 'coloured'.

A few years ago, he allegedly identified  as African, on an application for a school principal position, a job he didn’t get.

Last month he received a summons from the provincial education department to attend a disciplinary hearing.

Snyman declined our request for comment saying the matter is still pending.
