The Life Orientation teacher at Pinnacle College Kyalami threatened to re-enact the moments that led to American George Floyd’s death when a police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck, leading to him suffocating.

“It wasn't my intention and I didn't want to put someone down who lost their lives while people were watching and being helpless. I never wanted to offend you. I never wanted to offend Mr Floyd. I would never; I know you need time, but just know that I am not a person like that, I am not a racist person. I would never have done that. It was a silly thing that popped into my head,” she said.
