Robertson teacher ‘hit, punched for being gay’ | Cape Times

Cape Town – A newly employed Robertson teacher said the start of his career has been traumatic following an assault, allegedly by a former student governing body member, because he is gay. Thando Dyamara works at the Masakheke Combined School in Robertson, and alleged intolerance towards his sexual orientation peaked at the weekend, when a former SGB member assaulted him.

“I heard a child calling me a moffie, and I went to reprimand him. I later went to report the incident to his parents, and was met by his mother who was rude and shouted at me.“I called the police to report a case of discrimination. Her husband appeared out of nowhere and smacked me with an open palm.
