From Times Wire Reports

A South African school fighting to keep apartheid education alive has been granted a temporary court order to continue separate teaching of white pupils, the school’s governing body said. A magistrate in Potgietersrus, 155 miles north of Johannesburg, has ruled that white pupils may temporarily be taught in a hostel of the former whites-only primary school. The Northern province government had filed an ownership claim on the hostel, saying it was part of the school grounds and therefore subject to a Supreme Court order banning segregated education. But school officials secured an injunction until the ownership claim is settled, and classes for the white students resumed.
