AKA Urges Pretoria High School Parents To Support Their Children

In the wake of Pretoria High School racism protests, rapper AKA has urged parents of the pupils on Twitter to go and support their children since they are the ones paying fees.

“Man, if I was a parent and saw these videos of "security" threatening to arrest my daughter I'd be at that school f%^$king sh!t up right now,” the “One Time” rapper tweeted.

AKA who is a father of one daughter wondered how someone can ban African girls from attending school with African hair in an African country.

Pretoria High School came into the news after reports emerged that the black students were forced to straighten their hair and not allowed to grow natural hair.

#StopRascismAtPretoriaGirlsHigh hashtag has been trending on Twitter and an online petition against the school policy calling rights of black and Muslim girls has gathered other 15,000 signatures.

Pretoria High School an all-girls school was founded in 1902 for students of both races but was attended by white students during the apartheid era. The school later opened to all races again after 1994.

The white girls, Indian, Coloureds ... I assume they wear their natural hair at that school with no issues. So what's the fuss???

How can you ban an African girl from having African hair going to school in an African country. How does this make sense? 🤔

I don't understand. How can someone's natural hair be an issue? .... What can girls possibly do to change how their hair grows. Ridiculous.
