Concerned parents have requested that all the implicated teachers be suspended until the investigations were done. via SundayIndy

Johannesburg - Sedibeng West District head of dispute management, Barney Boloang, told angry parents at a school meeting that the principal – who is said to have a 2-year-old child with a learner – and a number of teachers at the school, were under investigation for allegedly having sexual relations with pupils in exchange for marks, promotions and other favours.“There are allegations levelled against educators. There are allegations levelled against the principal.

“This has shown that our children are not safe here. It’s even worse because they can’t report such behaviour to us. These teachers threaten them that they will show their ‘poor’ marks to parents,” said Josephine Molebatsi. “We conducted interviews after we saw these allegations on social media. The MEC has appointed an independent law firm to come and investigate. We have a pandemic of coronavirus and gender-based violence, and people who should take care of the lives of our children are sleeping with them and impregnating them. It’s a cause for concern.

Last week, Lesufi visited the school after the allegations surfaced. Later, in an interview with Radio 702, he said he intended to question the school management and learners and then make a decision regarding the matter.
