Now I believe what people have been saying about Caldwellsteve8 is true, I earned a lot of money trading my bitcoin with him, Mr Caldwell you're indeed a great man of your words, you've changed lives including mine and I'm always grateful Caldwellsteve8 Thanks so much.

Put that energy into investigating rampant corruption in your department that's not a train smash, pls stop playing to the gallery and trying to impress

The MEC is ruthless even when it is unnecessary.....

That’s useless, the teacher needs conscientising than punishment

That’s useless, the teacher conscientising than punishment

Respect gone ...smh

WOW!!!!!!

Lesufi it is funny how you guys are quickly to jump in when teachers try to discipline pupils but never equip them with any disciplinary measures.

Nonsense

And the R400 million

After being silence about R430 million Lesufi you going for soft target. I wanna see you hair not combed.

Trying to play hero ngoDoti. Nxa, slima lesi!

You are just like the police minister. Okubalulekile kunmyanixaka so you focus on petty issues so it seems like you're doing something

Sukah! You chase your own and fear real racists and those who abuse children.

If it was a white teacher doing that to a black student 99% of you guys would be singing a different tune🤷🏾‍♂️

Boggles my mind how we protest at white schools to wear our hair however we want to, but the same hair styles are combed off at our so called black schools.

What about the Millions which were spent apparently to sanitize schools?

That one must tell us how he's managing fraud and corruption in his department

He must first take action on the missing R400 million

400 million gone no one cares.

we need action on the 400 million tenders Lesufi

Taba ya teacher ra e bona, what about the more than 400million ued to futher dust schools

Panyaza, swift to punish than to fix the messed up education system.

MbuyiseniNdlozi That teacher was hurting the boys with that comb. She must be dismissed selo sa moloi.

Kangaroo Courts for corrupt gov officials. The people will take appropriate action against criminals.

What about against the kids roughing up their white teacher? Not a word been said about that. 😡

He want to be political correct , to the detriment of hard working teachers . That pupil had a earrings , uncombed hair . Because of wanting to be political correct , youll have made public servants sacrificial lamb

When is action taken against you MEC for the looting of the Covid-19 funds by your department

You are loosing it now nkokheli... That teacher did nothing wrong

Where is the money....

are bored wena nd u are using ur power 🔋 mxm

Poor teachers. .

This was swift but what about the other matter of disinfectants

For what? No wonder these kids are so unruly.

Not until He pays back the R400 000 000 that was spent by his department on sanitizer

Mr Pantaza why is the no action taken against you in regards with the mismanagement funds for PPE's? Let's start there and the rest will follow. LEAD by example

Can he tell us about the corruption that happened in his department and stop shifting our focus on that using this unnecessary nonsense that can be solved by the principal.

LilithaBodlani

Appreciate action should be taken against panyaza first that he was unaware of the R431m missing funds.

Appropriate action 🤦🏾‍♂️... We'll see Mr. Lesufi.

We are Busy, he must find something else to do

The Gang that Hlafana'd 429 Million yona oreng ka yona abuti Lesufi

Mehlolo e rata batho. You take action against a teacher who teaches a student to comb hair but cannot take action against people who stole millions. Modimo re gaugele.

Yet the R431 million is still missing

What’s wrong with a teacher making sure that the pupils look good

Hi Lesufi come and read the comments

🙄🙄🙄

NiniQhawekazi Sadtu must defend that lady. Otherwise Lesufi must go to the classroom and be the perfect teacher he wants. Their kids are adhering to private school s code of conducts, but he wants to interfere with our children s future

Action must be taken about Tshwane West District for failing Black Children and HQ and the failing online system.

And when is he taking appropriate action aginst his corrupt department or rather himself?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, jah neh

No action will be taken for that.

I believed in Lesufi at some point but on taking 'appropriate action' for the teacher who was doing good for that boy hhayi cha angeke,angimvumi kelapho useyalahla

And gone is that teacher! Ai! You lost it this time Lesufi

He must try fix the put toilet stop worrying about people hair

It's very unfair to the educator concerned, no other important stuff GEDept can focus on than this.

Lesufi what about 400million

We need afriforum to deal with Lesufi on this R431 million scandal, I can image Gerrie Nel squeezing Panyaza

MEC you like media too much

No wonder pupils behave the way they do. Nothing wrong with what that teacher did. We need more teachers like her. Today's generation out of order. Beating teachers n bullying other kids knowing nothing will happen to them.

Read somewhere that Panyaza will run with this to make us forget about the 431M.

This guy has energy for the comb teacher but zero energy for R400mil plus gang.

What will the charge of combing hair called? Hair abuse/Hair harassment? The MEC has a lot of time, he should be focusing on the registration system which is frustrating parents!

So enforcing hygene n cleanliness school is a crime. So teachers must now teach whom ever is willing to do so. Nigibeza ingane emakhanda kothisha

Papers leaked under his watch 431 million vanished under his watch Now good at punishing a Teacher Leave the teacher alone

Panyaza Mr Appropriate yaphapha straight this time he needs to be taken care of appropriately yena uswine

Lesufi this one likes too much media attention. Busy focusing on petty stuff. Tsek

I want to use this medium to thank you EthanMandy For your honesty in opening your heart ❤️ fully to walk me through my BITCOIN MINING dreams successfully after LOST to fake account managers EthanMandy I am lucky to have met you and i’m forever great full. God Bless You🙏

Combing hair is more material than looted millions of rands

🙄

I really don't see any problem with combing hair

I liked this guy but this time uyanya,

These bloody politicians!! Always want to change our focus and concentrate on useless things. This is very less important than what happened to the looting of those millions. A leopard never changes its spots

🤮🤮🤮

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. Amelimarkdonal

And then imali yama pine gel yona?

I wonder if Panyaza Lesufi has ever been a teacher before, even just for one day? He displays ignorance when it comes to the learner behavior and attitudes.

Lesufi is really a drama queen. He has no clue on how schools should be managed and how discipline should be dispensed. He must be given arts and culture ministry, maybe he can perform.

Hy is'n kansvatter Panyaza

This is nonsense

We need to protect that teacher, there are most important things that you can take “appropriate action” against. Please don’t bore us Lesufi

Looking for the teacher is very bad instead looking for the school body because every staff was aware of that

Really? This is unbelievable what the teacher did is not odd, parents do it especially when you tell the child to comb his or her hair and they don't. Welcome to SA combing the hair is a crime because the word 'rough' has been thrown in and corruption is okay for ANC.

He must take action against looters😡😡😡

Also he must take action on foreigners from Tanzania getting tenders to deliver printing papers in GDE.
