Walmer High School

Walmer High School Walmer High School, located in Port Elizabeth, helps approximately 1400 learners from the surroundin

Walmer Township is the oldest township in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, located next to the Port Elizabeth International Airport. Before the phasing out of the Apartheid government, Walmer Township had no high school to service its growing population. In 1991, Vernon Gamanda was established and merged with Walmer township’s secondary school, Zanamafa, to become Walmer High School in 2003. The faculty, staff, and administration at Walmer High have been endeavoring to fully support its learners and instill in them a love for learning since then. The school serves a population of approximately 1400 pupils, in grades 8-12, 100% of whom speak Xhosa as their mother tongue. Principal Lunga Dyani is seeking to build an atmosphere of learning and inquiry at Walmer High School that will enhance the educational experience of learners and increase their communicative competence, allowing more students to pass their matriculation exams and continue on to tertiary level studies.

Dear parents , learners and the Walmer community

Walmer high school has noted with deep concern viral posts on social media about the school principal, Mr Sitsheke. The recent circulating posts alleges that Mr Sitsheke has impregnated a learner at the school among other things.

The school and its SGB wishes to clear the following:

1. The learner’s name being mentioned in the posts does NOT study at Walmer high school nor has she studied at the school before.
2. ⁠Mr Sitsheke says he has NO knowledge of the learner/ person & therefore has not impregnated her or any learner before.
3. ⁠The school, the department of education nor the police have NOT received any complaint about Mr Sitsheke of this nature.
4. ⁠Any person (parent or learner) who alleges there is a sexual relationship, impregnated learner or serious allegation about Mr Sitsheke is encouraged to come forward and report the matter, either to the school or department of education.

The school further notes with concern that similar social media trends were circulating in February and April this year about Mr Sitsheke. Currently we have NOT received any complaints of any kind.

We need to be vigilant regarding posts which are posted by anonymous people & recently created accounts on facebook as they have the potential spread unverified, inaccurate information. Such posts have the potential of tainting a person image. The account that initiated these allegations was created on the 28th of September 2026.

The school’s SGB views this as a distraction for learners as they prepare to start their final NSC exams on the 13th of October 2026.

The SGB strongly urges parents, learners and the public to verify the sources & accuracy of the information before posting/sharing on social media platforms.

We further encourage learners and parents to report serious matters of this nature using established correct channels.

Regards: SGB Chairperson
Mr T Mtyaleka

Today, 20 incredible young voices from Walmer Township begin the journey of a lifetime as the masifunde Youth Choir departs for Germany! ✈️🇿🇦🇩🇪

For many of these talented learners, aged 14–18, this will be their very first flight and their first time leaving South Africa. Over the next two weeks, they will perform in cities across Germany, sharing the rich sounds, stories and spirit of South Africa through music.

From prestigious gala performances to cultural exchanges with German school choirs, this tour is about so much more than singing. It is an opportunity to build friendships, experience new cultures, and proudly represent their school, community and country on an international stage.

We are incredibly proud of every choir member, as well as choir conductor Leseko Mkhwanazi and masifunde Programme Coordinator Siba Sarabi, who will join the tour and also perform as a guest artist during selected concerts.

Safe travels, masifunde Youth Choir! May your voices inspire, your experiences enrich, and your journey create memories that will last a lifetime. 🌍🎶❤️
