There were also torn scripts from the bible that were used to make papier-mache demons. Other pictures were also used that supposedly portrayed some Satanistic subject matters.

He stated that he has respect for the teachers; however, he called for a demonstration against the art pieces. The school is based in Kwambonambi in KwaZulu-Natal, its under the Curro group.The members of the institution state that the art pieces were recorded and sent to social media without the institutions’ acknowledgement. This was done even though there were demands that the works of the learners should not be shown publicly, because the works had to be understood in the factors of the given theme.
A curro member told News24 that “Curro are cognisant of the allegation made on social media and the matter is currently subject to internal investigation. Curro reiterates that comments made about the school, the artwork and the learner are not an accurate reflection of our school and the situation referred to.” The member also stated that they don’t want to comment until an internal examination has been finished.
