Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi announced that the school had not received authorisation from the district to go on the Grade 8 Orientation Camp.
Lesufi said that although the school had approached the district on 19 November last year with an application to have the camp, the district had not approved the trip.
Lesufi said that schools need to apply to the district three months in advance of any camp.
He said that Parktown Boys’ had also applied to have a trip to Bloemfontein in January, which has subsequently been cancelled.
Check out these tweets from Journalist Sarah Koning, who reported directly from the venue:
