Parents are opposed to bail being granted to a Durban teacher charged with sexually abusing pupils.

A 55-year-old teacher accused of raping and sexually grooming pupils will know on Friday whether he will get bail. File photo.Parents are opposed to bail being granted to a Durban teacher charged with sexually assaulting pupils.

He faces eight charges — six of rape, one of sexual grooming and one of exposing a pupil's genitals to another pupil. “He has type 2 diabetes and underlying illnesses, including migraines. He is also likely to face an internal hearing from the department of education that will not be conducted fairly if he’s incarcerated,” he said.

“The complainants were afraid to come forward because of previous threats, but more people have come forward since his arrest and we have reason to believe that even more may come [if he is not granted bail]. The victim also reported the matter late to the police because she was afraid,” he said.Pupils with placards have demonstrated outside the court.“There is no evidence supporting threats by my client, so it’s just hearsay.
