On July 16 2013 the small group of Afrikaner children in Grade Ten of the Afrikaans-language Alexander Bay High School in Northern Namaqualand -- in the tiny diamond-mining town of Alexander Bay (population 1,492 in 2001)were targeted with hate speech in front of the entire classroom by a black male official who was visiting and inspecting the school on behalf of the Education Department.
It has also been reported that white-Afrikaner children also are being assaulted by groups of adult black-racist males:

It was reported by Hannes Engelbrecht of the Boere Krisis Aksie that at the Afrikaans-language High School of Alexander Bay, North Cape, a visiting black ANC-official from the Department of Education greatly upset the small group of white children in Grade Ten, who walked out in disgust on July 16 2013 when he targeted them with racist hate-speech. (Afrikaans report attached).
Engelbrecht writes on BKA: "The 'gentleman' was addressing Grade Ten - but now the children fear victimization and 'cannot remember' the 'gentleman s' name. The man said to them in front of the entire class that the 'Whites Are Responsible for Poor Education and Poor Living Conditions' in South Africa today. So the small number of Afrikaner children - who are far in the minority to the coloured- and black children at the school - walked from the classroom in disgust because of the gentleman's racist comments. It was also reported by Boere Krisis Aksie's Hannes Engelbrecht on July 18 2013 that 'several other incidents have already occurred in town in which "a group of barbarians assaulted white pupils."
He added: "By 'gentleman' I am not referring to the teacher".

It is located on the southern bank of the Orange River mouth. It was named for Sir James Alexander, who was the first person to map the area whilst on a Royal Geographical Society expedition into Namibia in 1836. (It is mistakenly believed by many locals that it was he who first established commercial copper mining in the area.) With diamonds being discovered along the West Coast in 1925, Alexander Bay was established to service the mining industry. The town of Oranjemund opposite: on the northern bank of the river, which forms the international border with Namibia.
The two towns are linked by the Harry Oppenheimer Bridge. The town is served by Alexander Bay Airport. After diamonds were discovered along this coast in 1925 by Dr Hans Merensky, Alexander Bay became known for its mining activities. The resulting 'diamond rush' even led to the "Diamond Coast rebellion of 1928".
-- Copper ore was shipped through the Richtersveld in barges down the Orange River for export from this bay. The town was a high security area and permits were needed when entered. It is no longer a high security area and no permits are needed.Alexander Bay is the most northerly situated town along the west coastline of South Africa. This entire Orange River wetlands is a declared a RAMSAR site. There are unigue geographic features, for instance fields of green and orange lichen grow on a hill near the turnoff to Alexander Bay town. It is 150 miles (240 km) north-west of Springbok, the administrative centre of Namaqualand. It lays at the very southerly edge of the Namib desert and is officially the driest town in South Africa -- with an average annual rainfall of less than 2 inches (50 mm).
