@carteblanchetv having read so many of the comments below - has your report and reporter not caused considerable damage ? I think she has and you can not unscramble this egg !
@@Elfin1993 oh Elfin, you and I and most of the people commenting on this will not agree with you. This was a disaster, can you not see that ? The SGB need to own up to what they have been doing for the past 20 years !!
Why is the interviewer taking sides against the principal. Her job is to let eeryone speak their mind without being judged so that wwe can try get to the truth
Masa Kekana should learn how to separate emotions from journalism. If we are to have an unbiased reportage, feelings and sentiment should be kept aside. Claire would have done a better job.
Women and emotions are intertwined and can't be separated. I've seen a female Small claims court commissioner overlooking documentary evidence entirely and going after a male claimant who was suing a female client that had refused to pay and had distorted facts in her narration of events. Moreover, she came to court without a single piece of paper. So the sisterhood bond is real.
So true I have witnessed that at work one guy gave up his job due to a misunderstanding the manager was female so was the accuser@@samuelt.kisaame7787
I believe two things can be true at once. Maybe the principal did the things he's accused off, but the school isn't innocent either. It's a case of "if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me".
And maybe the principal purposely chose to work here, because he knew they were scandalous. He may have felt, this is the type of place you can get away with unruly behaviour
@@LM-he7eb nah the principal is from gauteng and the school is in Pietermaritzburg so I doubt he had info that deep about the school the school is 600km away from joburg so he knew the school for its public reputation the 8 accounts he discovered when he got there most likely
This man comes from a very prestigious school, surely this kind of behavior does not just happen, there will be a track record. If there is no track record he deserves his day in court and a chance to defend himself. Right now it is just he said she said. I see three mothers, where are the fathers of these boys.
So many red flags here: 1. The school has 8+ bank accounts and only one person sees something wrong with that? And that coincidentally is the person who everyone is making accusations against? And it's only the ones employed by the SGB? Coincidence too? 2. Despite the man having beat the allegations through a formal process.... 3. ...even Maasa was willing to come into the interview with what seemed to me like a biased view. I found that "I saw the trauma in these women" comment particularly weird coming from a journalist and based on a single interaction with the alleged victims? Not even an actual psychology professional would make such a bold statement. The "academy award-winning comment" too. 4. The child suffers from a lifelong condition but the accepted trigger for his current state is a single interaction with the principal? 5. There was no real effort to investigate his claims. The main focus of this interview is allegations against the headmaster and all other parties interviewed are regarding those one-sided allegation? Even if the guy is lying, nobody thought to look into his claims as investigative journalists?
Something is up here. The principal is at loggerheads with the SGB and all the complaints comes form teacher employed by the SGB. They need to investigate this and they should involve SACE.
His hearing has already happened... if there was damming evidence against him, it would have come out. And... he was found not guilty. Food for thought...
The title of your video is "Prep School Bully".....? come on guys, as an investigative channel how on earth did you reach that conclusion with zero evidence? 🤦♂🤦♂
He was investigated and found not guilty but the sgb was illegally operating 8 bank accounts, a few of which were not reported in the financials. Carte blanche looking very bias in this interview.
His body language, his way of communication , his demeanor definitely points to someone that has issues. With that being said, he was the deputy principal of another prestigious school, KINGS edward prep. Has any of those teachers, parents come forward? Surely as the SGB that would also be your point of reference? ALSO, C'MON 8 Bank accounts, Houston, we have a problem ........
i also believe that he didnt mean it in a malicious way cause as stated he was never told about his medical condition....only after he sat with did they tell him
@Alpha51233 Regardless, his conduct was unprofessional and wasn't in the child's best interests. If a person really thinks those kind of actions are justifiable (intimidation and fear-based control), they shouldn't be employed at a school.
@@Elfin1993 i do understand the method was wrong but their statement based on 1 encounter i will never agree with that.... 2nd like just as he mentioned things he came across tof the accounts the guy stumbled on his words and started justifying the ordeal(am not saying the principal is not wrong but everyone to have something similar without no 1 being on his side shows its planned on getting him out )

I am just worried about the quality of the testimonials: "he found me to be incompetent and so I've tried to commit suicide on two separate occasions" 😅😂
While the interviewer seemed intent on portraying the principal in a negative light, there was insufficient focus on the actual issue at hand. It appears that the principal may, in fact, be a victim of the School Governing Body (SGB) for speaking out. When the principal clarified that his remarks about the “starfish joke” were secondary, I expected the interviewer to delve deeper into the context of those comments. This report feels reminiscent of media coverage that has, in the past, harmed the reputations and careers of many public figures due to a lack of thorough understanding. If all the allegations are true, please take your time to understand all the sides before broadcasting such nonsense.
Exactly. It says a lot that he is willing to admit part of that, besides there being no evidence. He could've just denied it & there would be no proof. Maybe the teacher only felt victimized after he did it, because of his tone & the laughter. This seems like a "You can't sit with us" club. He is a Joburger, who was not hired by the SGB. I think the SGB has their eye on someone, who'll help them continue these alleged fraud. I would've loved to know where the money in those accounts comes from, who it does to, when they were opened & who opened them. I'd like to know why the previous principal left & his connection to the SBG. I'd like to know what the stuff from Bragin's previous school think of him. I want to know WHEN that mom started searching for alternative education for his son & if he is clinically diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I'd like to know if other teachers had a problem with that boy's conduct I would've liked the journalist to confirm if indeed all the accused are private hires. I want to know what the government hires think of him
@@LM-he7eb Yes, I agree whole heartedly - the SGB and their little posse of parents and SGB employers have ruined that school - it has become a toxic environment and kids will leave not because of the Principal but because of the toxicity of these parents aligned to the SGB and how they have treated the Parents and Staff that have not sided with the SGB and at last the story of the 8 or more Bank Accounts is now common knowledge ! KEPS had no issues with this man at all - liked by all there !
From the title of your video to how the journalist "Claire" handled this was Bias - 8 bank accounts 5 not declared and the audacity to sit there taking one side before hearing the other?? I honestly miss Derek(MHSRIP)
I would interview the kids and get a feeling of how this headmaster treats the students. If he is unruly with staff, he is certainly going to abuse power over the kids. The Kids would have no incentive / reason to lie that Bragin could hide behind like with the SGB. At the same time the multiple accounts smells of corruption So I certainly would want to dig into that Rabbit hole.
Very biased interview by this lady. Her questions, her style of approach and her approach made it clear that she has sided with the SGB and was questioning the principal in a very attacking manner. You cannot be biased and emotional if you want to be a journalist and an interviewer. Anyways, I'm not ruling out that the principal is guilty of these accusations, but having 11 bank accounts for a school is absolutely BIZARRE. Definitely a lot of underhand dealings and misuse of funds.
Something is fishy here and I'm not only referring to the unusually (for CB) amateurish reporting and particularly the interview. The facts are that there are no facts. This entire saga is entirely based on hearsay. I haven't seen a single shred of evidence. Everything is one person's word versus another. How can anyone - ESPECIALLY Maasa - accuse Bregan of anything when there literally is zero evidence against him beyond some hearsay? Wow this whole report was extremely amateur CB. I feel like you can do much better - because you usually do do much better. Please don't stoop to the level of petty arguments between adults who frankly all need to grow up.
So you telling me, with 10 or so cases coming up, all similar in nature, all is fine with the principal? In addition, there were witnesses that the department never felt they should interview.
@wesleyadie5210 why are you talking nonsense? Do you know first hand or are you trying to be clever. Do you work at the said school or did you form part of the legal team ?
@wesleyadie5210 so it isnt strange that for over a year all was fine then suddenly on the same day... everyone has an issue and their accounts are almost identical... I smell a rat. Collaborated and concocted.
Could both parties be right? That he is as bad as they allege and also that the school is being financially devious? Maybe even that he used to get acquitted because he knew about the financial mishandling and thought that he would then have immunity for his bad behavior, but when parents started shutting down business, they had to sack him? Because he may be costing more than they make? Two wrongs don't make it right
New principal comes in, sees the fraud and says no thanks. Also for an adult to say that this principal influenced him to attempt …… As an adult that’s ridiculous, Everyone seems to be a victim at this school except the principal.
Carte Blanche, you are dropping the ball. Sometimes, i confuse you with the Devi show. The kid with "separation anxiety " needs some tough love because his mother would rather put him on meds before a firm hand. As for the divorcee. I mean, come on, now really, does she think she's that appealing ? Sounds like a bitter feminist post divorce. As for the sports coach, he's weak. Thank goodness he didn't get into law. All in all, it sounds like the SGB has that "woke mentality"
Unsure about whether the financials should be submitted to the department? Isn't this a public school? If they are not submitting all their financials to the department then who are they submitting them to? This is playing fast and loose with public funds. I smell a rat.
Back in the days we produced men from school boys, you throw a tantrum, you get the cane, you carry on, you go to reform school. At my school you got your marbles together or get disciplined - you want to have an anxiety attack, have it outside the principles office while waiting for your "6"cuts.
I mean this man comes from king Edward’s also a very prestigious school in the country …..on the balance of things what could be so different in managing a boys school ….this guy well experienced….nah nah
@@theosokupa2861do you know how schools employ? The SGB at the school interviews candidates! Not the education department. The SGB then recommends a candidate to the department. So the SGB appointed him. In addition, the SGB also adds 30k salary on top of what the department pay him.
This sounds like a hatchet job to me. I never just believe one side, tears do not move me. This is his life and his means to provide for his family. I would also not just give up.
@@Elfin1993 before I went after an individual in hhis case, I would request forensic auditors to look at the 8 banking accounts.and psychotic behavior does not happen overnight.
Full investigations are required of both the principal and the School and it's governing body. I noticed in this video nothing is said of this principal's behavior at he's previous schools. I'm sure that will be part of the full investigation, but there does seem to be discrepancies on both sides here. I have worked in public schools and none of them (even the bigger one's) had 8 bank accounts! That fact alone is a huge red flag. Only a thoroughly conducted investigation will sort this out.
Woah I remember Ms Hemingway from Clarendon Primary when she was a student teacher.She was the best.Sad to see what has happened to her and this great school. Hope they get the justice they deserve.
no this was either incomplete or poorly reported.... there is more to this tale... and as a former member of an SGB I know how that mafia can raly together and create organised and legit corruption ... 😢 its true that these days ..touch is a move.. we dont play or joke at work... that's why its called work not play... people are too sensitive and others are too sinister... lets work at work...
This was really unimpressive journalism from Catte Blanche. Then, a non "Carte Blanche" comment section which is moderated? Under their rules? Come on.
Since he has been there for 18months, a financial year end must have culminated in him signing the financial statements. So did he disclose the 8 bank accounts?
Definitely one of the weaker carte Blanche investigations I've seen. Doubt this man is completely innocent, but pinning a childs anxiety and a grown mans depression on one man is strange and unfair to people who genuinely suffer from these mental illnesses.
Well said. It’s making a mockery of real issues just to gain sympathy support for the what the SGB have done to a Principal who dared to query something in a school that’s been running for 130 years. In this day and age social media has allowed everyone to be part of the issue as the SGB and its alliance has used social media to spread the lies and propaganda. It’s shocking that they used these cheap shots against the Principal - anxiety issues and depression are real issues in this day and age 😢
Big up to the Principal. He is a Leader, at times he will display his frustration, most people do. The sgb must respond to act of acting outside the prescripts of the sa school's act. Why more than 8 bank accounts?
My impression as well. What a warrior. As for Gift, with the resources Merchiston pour into their sporting programs, they've been grossly underachieving. Maybe Bragin has a point.
That mother moaning because the principal scared her son booowoooo lol that's what's wrong with the world kids have become so sheltered...that kid needs a person in his life that wont tolerate his tantrums.... parents these days cover for there soft and bad parenting with all types of clinical words my kid must try to throw a tantrum the teacher wont even need to threaten him he will know what's waiting for him at home.
I normally love Carte Blanhce interviews but in this case the Interviewer was very biased in favour os the SGB and the females. I say this as a female. I agree with the comments below that suggest the same opinion and I echo what another comment said @Preppie-thirty, "He was investigated and found not guilty but the sgb was illegally operating 8 bank accounts, a few of which were not reported in the financials. Carte blanche looking very bias in this interview., "
The victims sound petty to me and over exaggerat everything, everyone is just depressed coz of their superior all of the sudden, gotta think twice right there.
I don’t disavow SGBs they are the best model for school governance! However SGBs shouldn’t be politically aligned DA feminists, they should have equal representation of both working and non working parents on both sides of the political spectrum! Sadly it’s mainly all stay at home divorced moms who hate men on these SGBs… it’s been that way for 4 decades now
Usually Carte Blanche would have explored that angle. It's quite suspicious imo that even they seemed to pick a side and didn't even bother to explore the other side. There are two stories, which could both be true but a choice was made to draw a firm line

This seems like a "You can't sit with us" club. He is a Joburger, who was not hired by the SGB. I think the SGB has their eye on someone, who'll help them continue these alleged fraud.
I would've loved to know where the money in those accounts comes from, who it does to, when they were opened & who opened them.
I'd like to know why the previous principal left & his connection to the SBG.
I'd like to know what the stuff from Bragin's previous school think of him.
I want to know WHEN that mom started searching for alternative education for his son & if he is clinically diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I'd like to know if other teachers had a problem with that boy's conduct
I would've liked the journalist to confirm if indeed all the accused are private hires.
I want to know what the government hires think of him
@@LM-he7eb Yes, I agree whole heartedly - the SGB and their little posse of parents and SGB employers have ruined that school - it has become a toxic environment and kids will leave not because of the Principal but because of the toxicity of these parents aligned to the SGB and how they have treated the Parents and Staff that have not sided with the SGB and at last the story of the 8 or more Bank Accounts is now common knowledge ! KEPS had no issues with this man at all - liked by all there !
From the title of your video to how the journalist "Claire" handled this was Bias - 8 bank accounts 5 not declared and the audacity to sit there taking one side before hearing the other??
I honestly miss Derek(MHSRIP)
They needed to investigate and not be biased. Bad journalism, don't forget people watching have brains
Nope something is up, SGB needs to be investigated.
Exactly my sentiments
I agree!!
I would interview the kids and get a feeling of how this headmaster treats the students. If he is unruly with staff, he is certainly going to abuse power over the kids. The Kids would have no incentive / reason to lie that Bragin could hide behind like with the SGB. At the same time the multiple accounts smells of corruption So I certainly would want to dig into that Rabbit hole.
The way this was portrayed feels one sided.
"I saw the trauma in their eyes" 😂
Woman really out here living life on easy mode.😅🥴
😅😅😅😅
their tears have been shielding them from consequences all their lives
Wow, slaming a fist on a table. How unbelievably awful.
Very biased interview by this lady. Her questions, her style of approach and her approach made it clear that she has sided with the SGB and was questioning the principal in a very attacking manner.
You cannot be biased and emotional if you want to be a journalist and an interviewer.
Anyways, I'm not ruling out that the principal is guilty of these accusations, but having 11 bank accounts for a school is absolutely BIZARRE. Definitely a lot of underhand dealings and misuse of funds.
why is everybody so dramatic ..its very suspicious
Something is fishy here and I'm not only referring to the unusually (for CB) amateurish reporting and particularly the interview. The facts are that there are no facts. This entire saga is entirely based on hearsay. I haven't seen a single shred of evidence. Everything is one person's word versus another. How can anyone - ESPECIALLY Maasa - accuse Bregan of anything when there literally is zero evidence against him beyond some hearsay?
Wow this whole report was extremely amateur CB. I feel like you can do much better - because you usually do do much better. Please don't stoop to the level of petty arguments between adults who frankly all need to grow up.
So you telling me, with 10 or so cases coming up, all similar in nature, all is fine with the principal? In addition, there were witnesses that the department never felt they should interview.
@wesleyadie5210 why are you talking nonsense? Do you know first hand or are you trying to be clever. Do you work at the said school or did you form part of the legal team ?
They failed in the court of law, now they're tackling the court of public opinion
@wesleyadie5210 so it isnt strange that for over a year all was fine then suddenly on the same day... everyone has an issue and their accounts are almost identical... I smell a rat. Collaborated and concocted.
Could both parties be right? That he is as bad as they allege and also that the school is being financially devious?
Maybe even that he used to get acquitted because he knew about the financial mishandling and thought that he would then have immunity for his bad behavior, but when parents started shutting down business, they had to sack him? Because he may be costing more than they make?
Two wrongs don't make it right
Did he behave the same at the previous school? Something is off here
that will definitely give insight
From what i have been told - he was very well like by all Parents, Pupils and Staff !
He did the same thing at the previous school. They kept quiet about it to get rid of him.
@@jakedavidsons I think you talking nonsense - why don’t you enlighten us all - nothing like a know all that talks nonsense !
@@Lee-r6s I'm an old boy. The guy is a narcissist. Everyone hates him
Interviewers that are bias is not right.
Happens in 90% of the schools. Teachers are treated like garbage
New principal comes in, sees the fraud and says no thanks.
Also for an adult to say that this principal influenced him to attempt ……
As an adult that’s ridiculous,
Everyone seems to be a victim at this school except the principal.
I think you are spot on
Not everyone but SGB hired I think they said
No, common Cart Blanche, you can do better than this!! I would expect reporting like this from Newsroom Africa.
Masa also works for Newzroom Afrika.
@@mazibukomail and she should rather stay there and leave CB alone. This was a complete disaster and has done nothing but harm.
@@Lee-r6s Done harm to who?
@@mazibukomail to the people involved. The reporting was shocking and has caused undue suffering
@@Lee-r6s Let's be honest, you're just upset that white people are the subject of this investigation and that they are being held accountable.
Carte Blanche, you are dropping the ball. Sometimes, i confuse you with the Devi show. The kid with "separation anxiety " needs some tough love because his mother would rather put him on meds before a firm hand. As for the divorcee. I mean, come on, now really, does she think she's that appealing ? Sounds like a bitter feminist post divorce. As for the sports coach, he's weak. Thank goodness he didn't get into law. All in all, it sounds like the SGB has that "woke mentality"
Unsure about whether the financials should be submitted to the department? Isn't this a public school? If they are not submitting all their financials to the department then who are they submitting them to? This is playing fast and loose with public funds. I smell a rat.
And she just glossed over that 🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
Back in the days we produced men from school boys, you throw a tantrum, you get the cane, you carry on, you go to reform school. At my school you got your marbles together or get disciplined - you want to have an anxiety attack, have it outside the principles office while waiting for your "6"cuts.
And you were threatened with BOYS TOWN as well....
Alot is not adding up.
If these complaining teachers were not happy , why did they stay?
Its not easy to be a man,that governing body has someone for that that principals post
Straight up ! He was employed by the provincial government whilst all the teachers who are after him are employed by the sgb…….
I mean this man comes from king Edward’s also a very prestigious school in the country …..on the balance of things what could be so different in managing a boys school ….this guy well experienced….nah nah
@@theosokupa2861do you know how schools employ? The SGB at the school interviews candidates! Not the education department. The SGB then recommends a candidate to the department. So the SGB appointed him. In addition, the SGB also adds 30k salary on top of what the department pay him.
This sounds like a hatchet job to me. I never just believe one side, tears do not move me. This is his life and his means to provide for his family. I would also not just give up.
So many tears 🙄
A sociopath wouldn't give up either. Carte Blanche's cover of the story may seem bias, but your counter-narrative isn't any less bias.
@@Elfin1993 before I went after an individual in hhis case, I would request forensic auditors to look at the 8 banking accounts.and psychotic behavior does not happen overnight.
@@eleanormaxwell721Merchiston have had a clean audit for many years.
@@wesleyadie5210 how do you know so much ? Are you an accountant or are you teacher linked to an accountant ? Or are you just a know all 🤣
Full investigations are required of both the principal and the School and it's governing body. I noticed in this video nothing is said of this principal's behavior at he's previous schools. I'm sure that will be part of the full investigation, but there does seem to be discrepancies on both sides here. I have worked in public schools and none of them (even the bigger one's) had 8 bank accounts! That fact alone is a huge red flag. Only a thoroughly conducted investigation will sort this out.
Wow why 8 accounts?? Something is fishy about the SGB. The interviewer was biased.
This is a crazy story ,this seems like a witch hunt
Why is she emotional about this?That is disgusiting
Terrible interviewer! No emotional control. Fire her!
Anyone that blames everyone else and not owning up to one thing. Is GUILTY
Woah I remember Ms Hemingway from Clarendon Primary when she was a student teacher.She was the best.Sad to see what has happened to her and this great school.
Hope they get the justice they deserve.
Weak journalism
no this was either incomplete or poorly reported.... there is more to this tale... and as a former member of an SGB I know how that mafia can raly together and create organised and legit corruption ... 😢 its true that these days ..touch is a move.. we dont play or joke at work... that's why its called work not play... people are too sensitive and others are too sinister... lets work at work...
The Principal is a victim of circumstance, greedy and shady people want to get rid of him. Masa Kekana should is very unprofessional
So many unanswered questions
This is unacceptable
Poor investigative journalism by Carte Blanche👎 Where's the objective evidence from both sides?
i cant help it say something is off here
This was really unimpressive journalism from Catte Blanche. Then, a non "Carte Blanche" comment section which is moderated? Under their rules?
Come on.
Since he has been there for 18months, a financial year end must have culminated in him signing the financial statements. So did he disclose the 8 bank accounts?
The investigation was poor yoh.... but it would be interesting if you continued we want to get to the button of this.
Who is fooling who here ..Award winning acting indeed
These women look so terrified💔
I find the interviewer very unprofessional
Definitely one of the weaker carte Blanche investigations I've seen. Doubt this man is completely innocent, but pinning a childs anxiety and a grown mans depression on one man is strange and unfair to people who genuinely suffer from these mental illnesses.
Well said. It’s making a mockery of real issues just to gain sympathy support for the what the SGB have done to a Principal who dared to query something in a school that’s been running for 130 years. In this day and age social media has allowed everyone to be part of the issue as the SGB and its alliance has used social media to spread the lies and propaganda. It’s shocking that they used these cheap shots against the Principal - anxiety issues and depression are real issues in this day and age 😢
Maasa really took sides on this one and that's sad
Way more to this story than what Carte blanch published .....
“I believe they deserve an Oscar” 🤣🤣
Big up to the Principal. He is a Leader, at times he will display his frustration, most people do. The sgb must respond to act of acting outside the prescripts of the sa school's act. Why more than 8 bank accounts?
My impression as well. What a warrior. As for Gift, with the resources Merchiston pour into their sporting programs, they've been grossly underachieving. Maybe Bragin has a point.
@@ffbro-yi5ku That man is anything but a leader
Sorry how do you know what kind of leader he makes? Do you attend Merchiston? Are you an employee?
@@Elfin1993are you Elf. You very busy trying to push your narrative ??? Do you work there - hey hey also SGB employee maybe ??
That mother moaning because the principal scared her son booowoooo lol that's what's wrong with the world kids have become so sheltered...that kid needs a person in his life that wont tolerate his tantrums.... parents these days cover for there soft and bad parenting with all types of clinical words my kid must try to throw a tantrum the teacher wont even need to threaten him he will know what's waiting for him at home.
I normally love Carte Blanhce interviews but in this case the Interviewer was very biased in favour os the SGB and the females. I say this as a female. I agree with the comments below that suggest the same opinion and I echo what another comment said @Preppie-thirty, "He was investigated and found not guilty but the sgb was illegally operating 8 bank accounts, a few of which were not reported in the financials. Carte blanche looking very bias in this interview., "
The victims sound petty to me and over exaggerat everything, everyone is just depressed coz of their superior all of the sudden, gotta think twice right there.
Why do school SGBs have so much power ?
I don’t disavow SGBs they are the best model for school governance! However SGBs shouldn’t be politically aligned DA feminists, they should have equal representation of both working and non working parents on both sides of the political spectrum! Sadly it’s mainly all stay at home divorced moms who hate men on these SGBs… it’s been that way for 4 decades now
If hes done it here, hes probably done it at his previous schools, should be some people at those schools complaining also? Just a thought.
Usually Carte Blanche would have explored that angle. It's quite suspicious imo that even they seemed to pick a side and didn't even bother to explore the other side. There are two stories, which could both be true but a choice was made to draw a firm line
This is not journalism. This is a hit piece.
That divorec teachair lying through her teeth
this looks like Carte Blanche was paid by the SGB for the interview
