A parent was taken into the school grounds after apparently being punched by an EFF supporter in the face. He had tried to stop a black parent from driving past Hoërskool Overvaal as she was hooting and had her fist in the air.
The parent had earlier made a rude gesture towards EFF protesters before accompanying his daughter into the school premises.
