Barely a week after the resignation of Neil Hovelmeier from St Johns College, after receiving death threats and a court action from angry parents, after he came out as gay at a school assembly. The St John’s Educational Trust has announced that Board Chairman Mr Charles Msipa has resigned from his position by mutual consent.
Full statement from the board below:
