Petition Headline:

Reinstate Mr. Kleyi as Principal of Nathaniel Nyaluza High School - Stop the Unjust Suspension!

Petition Message:

We, the concerned community of Nathaniel Nyaluza High School, demand the immediate reinstatement of Mr. Kleyi as the principal of the school. Mr. Kleyi was unjustly suspended following a water protest on March 6, 2025, despite his efforts to deliver a water tank to the school on March 5, 2025, amidst Makhanda's ongoing water crisis.

On that day, learners rejected the water delivery, citing concerns about faecal contamination, but this protest had little to do with the actual water shortage and everything to do with the resistance to progress by certain teachers. The history of undermining and dismissing progressive principals at Nyaluza, from Mr. Moshwane to Mr. Tyala, must end.

Mr. Kleyi has shown dedication to improving the school, turning it from an underperforming institution to one with steady academic growth. Starting from 2021 ~ 62.5%, 2022 ~ 75%, 2023 ~ 80.6%, 2024 ~ 84.6%.

We can not allow the future of our children to be gambled with by those opposed to change. The Department of Education must reinstate Mr. Kleyi and investigate those responsible for inciting this protest and the violence that followed.

Enough is enough! Let’s stand together for a brighter future for our children and a principled, forward-looking leadership at Nathaniel Nyaluza High School.
