A grade 4 pupil from Sakhile Primary School in Heidelberg, Gauteng, has been suspended after allegedly assaulting a teacher on Tuesday.

A teacher at Sakhile Primary School in Heidelberg suffered a face wound when a pupil threw a pencil case at her.“It is alleged that a grade 4 learner threw a pencil case towards an educator while she was busy at her table. Unfortunately, it hit her in the face," said Mabona."We can confirm that she is recuperating at home. Our employee wellness officials are in constant liaison with the educator for necessary support," Mabona said.

Mabona told TimesLIVE that the child left through a gap in the palisade fencing but later resurfaced at the school, accompanied by his grandmother and aunt. The department's circuit manager and the school principal told them what had happened, and informed them the child was suspended with immediate effect.

The parents were assured departmental procedures would unfold and the pupil would be allowed to write his examinations. The matter would be heard after November 20, Mabona said. “Learner ill-discipline will not be tolerated in our environment, which must always be conducive for teaching and learning,” Mabona said.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Very bad ,African child where is our manners teachers use to be the most respected people in this country bt now satan is really winning the race .

MbuyiseniNdlozi We only know the rights of a child are education food and clothing not ....

MbuyiseniNdlozi Blame so called rights groups

Grade 4 🙆🏾‍♂️Grade 8... S/he will be calling the shots, untouchable, even give oneself what marks to get....

And YOU want to tell me that SA is a 'better' place ...... HUH ? Grade 4 children calling the shots ? Criminals, looters and Thieves running the country

MbuyiseniNdlozi Rights is a problem

The cosntutional court said kids mustnt be disciplined and the kids are now disciplining abantu abadala

Our children are angry .I wonder what's the situation at home ...He / she is a kid man.background and parenting needs to be evaluated

There's a few things from apartheid that we should have kept in our system. Like corporal punishment at schools and the death penalty for vicious violent fatal crimes. PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa Julius_S_Malema MmusiMaimane BantuHolomisa Eusebius ErnstRoets

Grade 4?! Four?! Wow

If you don't spank your kids. They will spank you.

NicoM94020407 Disgraceful behaviour from a grade 4 student, no respect should be expelled, thank you anc government ,you should hang your heads in shame if you have any.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Parents jump to protect their kids even when they are guilty. No discipline at all. Parents threaten teachers in front of the kids.

MbuyiseniNdlozi This has to stop we need to respect our teachers and so should society . Yes some may need to gain our respect but the profession of teaching and coaching should be revered

Things have changed! Learners assaulting teachers,Imagine.

WTF

grootdawid That child needs to go to jail while getting mental care Boxing is a good choice for this kid as a career start now

ZSigwiji I can't like this

MbuyiseniNdlozi

The parents

MbuyiseniNdlozi ImaGine

This is what you get when you have kids raising themselves...

Excellent

Has Lesufi been to the school and solve this or what is he doing?

These kids

Lesufi Plse help !

💔

I wonder if Education Dept has proper plan on how they gonna deal with this issue of pupils attacking teachers. Cry,beloved country

Why is the word assault in inverted commas?

Our teachers are not safe,they can't discipline a child ,a mere child ,we're dead in mzanzi, with this rights ,this is Tanzania, the principal is disciplining this children 4 burning books ,good hiding 2 make children behave ,adawise our teachers are in trouble

Who is willing to teach and invigilate such a child,I should have killed the boy if I was the victim

This is the point where you will not see the expects saying these kids should not be chastised. Where is the talk to them brigade 🤔 Sorry for the poor teacher.

ndisa18 99% of SA citizens we blame the goverment ,but who is the goverment guys ,why do we allow few individuals to drive the whole country to hell?!!!🤔

The pupil who did this needs to be expelled from that school

Mavhure Kwatakuenda hanzi vana vasarohwe kuchikoro

SueNyathi Kids of today have anger... They are born with it...

Same grade4 that the government wants to teach them about sex!!🤦🏽‍♀️

Grade 4?

What do you expect from a society of violent protests, crime, gruesome attacks, and other vices? Out of rubbish comes another rubbish!!!

Gr 4 🤔

I also blame the Government, children of today have so many rights its unbelievable, we used to respect teachers and know that if you do something u were not suppose to do you will get that beating as a punishment it wasn't abuse it was discipline This child should be expelled

I blame the parents, there was a video of a child yelling back at teachers and parents on this very app were fully behind the learner saying he was provoked or the teachers were not suppose to talk to him like that as a parent u teach your child to never talk back to an elder

My child is in grade 4 and very tiny. Where does this violent mentality come from?

Beth'iphambane irascal kowam'uMama.

Mavhure The rights awarded to the children have proved to be a curse more than a blessing.. Those who grew up when Corporal punishment was in force, can/ will advocate for it to return. One could never lift a finger or utter a word to the teacher, as the consequences were dire.

Lafa izwe! Umkhuba usekhaya

MbuyiseniNdlozi Violence demonstrated and tolerated by MPs in Parliament kids copy

MbuyiseniNdlozi 'I would have been in jail' - My Mom

This is absolutely shocking, these children are running amok because of these 'Rights' that go with no responsibility GovernmentZA KhuselaS Please intervene swiftly.

The child needs help, in terms of child's Act he is presumed incapable of cognitive and conative conduct, psychological help might benefit the child, if d object of suspension is to help him deal with his anger $ 4 less dan 7days its not bad

MbuyiseniNdlozi This is not right at all

MbuyiseniNdlozi Lafa elikamthaniya😢😭

Give the teachers the powers to smack the shit of these little rascals

Nka mofa mmae 🤞

MbuyiseniNdlozi Raising a rotten society...

How old are grade 4s again?

10 year olds are in grade 4. Who will now choose the teaching profession?

MbuyiseniNdlozi RMajongwe

Bona nana GGontsemo

This is one of the reasons why we should amend our constitution cause even parents no longer have rights to discipline their own kids... Children's of today have to many rights leaving teachers and parents with nothing

why r Teachers unions are mute ?

How old is Grade 4 learner?🤔🤔🤔

mei_ela This upsets me to no end. Please, fuck political correctness. Parents need to discipline their children as do teachers. Enouhh of this, oh wait im going to hurt their feelings. Bullshit. This stuff NEVER happened when children were disciplined.

This tell you something about that child at that grade,raising his/her hand on an elder.

Where are the teachers' unions

MbuyiseniNdlozi 🤣🤭

MbuyiseniNdlozi Dysfunctional homes breed these dysfunctional children which turn into criminal and narcissistic adults. The parents should be ashamed

Rights, rights, rights come with reasoning, responsibility and accountability... it's a pity that Educ officials sit in air-conditioned offices while teachers are exposed to such demonic insolence and rudeness!

The teacher must lay a charge against the child and the department of education.

MbuyiseniNdlozi What went wrong in our schools mara, something has to be done sooner cos later is not promising

If that was my mother, I would hunt down that bustard n kill him...

The pupil should be expelled what are we teaching our kids it started with our 30 % pass rate they are leaning nothing but being violent the parents are to blame as well because it starts at home they see what the ANC and the EFF does no care about the people at the bottom

EVILS

MbuyiseniNdlozi Unfortunately for the poor teacher,nothing will be done.Even if she had been killed.But wait until was the other way around.......

MbuyiseniNdlozi SUSPENDED? did I hear that right or whaaat? ? That kid need to be mooooeeerrrrdddd period. ... Yeeeerrrrr

tshivhulamaria I would like to hear the child's side of the story. We can not have a singular story where as two lives in relationship where involved. The discussion must be taken further to included teacher-pupil relationship. And parent-child relationship a d community-child relationship.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Eish!!! This is so terrible, just imagine how young a grade 4 learner is

MbuyiseniNdlozi Modimo wa Kgotso ☹️

This country needs strong prayers. Parents let's pray for our children every day they leave the house, the devil uses them to destroy the world, pls.

Nna I swear, Bana ba gabaka assault'a mamaka or my aunties.. Huuuuuu shem goka nyewa.. Baakanya nyi..

MbuyiseniNdlozi Ingoba azishawa lezingane ezikolen kuthiwa ziyahlukumezwa 😂😂 thina sikhule ngenduku and we turned out just fine, till today we respect elders that we come across in our streets

MbuyiseniNdlozi Grade4 as in standard 2🤔 Modimo please bowa o tlo re lata 😭😭😭

MbuyiseniNdlozi When l was Grade 4 l used to love and respect my female teacher just like my own mother!

MbuyiseniNdlozi Rha ndingamcumza lomtana mna soze ndibethwe kwangumtana

MbuyiseniNdlozi Put him in the naughty corner. That'll teach him.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Thanks to stupid policies from the MYANC this child's parent can't even discipline him ... suspension, that will teach him 😬

A 10 year old child assaulting a teacher? Where are we going to? I think the teachers should be issued with pepper spray for self defence.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Nkamofa mmae

MbuyiseniNdlozi Khavha bebiwa vhana😦

MbuyiseniNdlozi Moral degeneration. And bayayitanda coz ibulala isizwe samaAfrika. Bring back corporal punishment

MbuyiseniNdlozi The stupid rights yall give kids & inmates in S.A is just useless

MbuyiseniNdlozi Parents please disregard what the courts and government are saying and take appropriate actions to discipline your kids. You cant give birth to a child and let someone else tell you how to raise them

MbuyiseniNdlozi Better spane sefele.nka mmetha half dood

MbuyiseniNdlozi Mpotse Koko Abe le lebadi la mgwana WA sekolo?nka Mo gaola tlhoho

What's wrong with today's kids 🙄

MbuyiseniNdlozi Report it to the ConCourt too

MbuyiseniNdlozi Am not surprised in South Africa.

Pussyfooting around these thugs is futile. Bring back corporal punishment as a last resort. Rather incarceration in juvenile detention centre where thse miscreants can be rehabilitated 😡

The pupil must not be allowed back until they are fully rehabilitated that is why these kids must be disciplined

Imagine the emotional torture, imagine what her family is going through now. Is this what we voted. A freedom where pupils assault parents. I am so sorry mama.

SA is such n entitled country. We expect so much for teachers STRU! It's not a teacher's job to in still good manners n respect in our kids

Our justice system is a honeymoon...I remember in my school days teachers were respected even when you meet them on weekends you still give them the respect they deserve. As for the grade 4 pupil...I am ashamed. A.Grade.4.

If my wife was a teacher, this learners family would be swimming in their 2 by now

Kubi ngoba no chief justice Mogoeng ukhiphe umthetho obhedayo othi izingane azingashaywa kwasekhaya. Bazali izingane azishaywe uma yenze okubi ekhaya ukuze yazi ukwenza okulungile. Singamane siboshwe uma sifuna ukuba ngabazali abaqotho.

Why suspended and not expelled... you know these so called experts and woke judiciary who saw it as good to take away values and discipline from schools is what brought us here. And they have GENERIC solutions to this matter eg 'parents n communities should be more involved'

When we were growing we learned that chastising a child was not sinful or illegal. Today teachers and parents must hide under tables fearing for their lives. People must learn that the Law of God is greater than our laws. The Bible says spare the child and spoil the rod.

Lesufi, where art thou?

Please mzansi corporal punishment must be brought back in schools really our kidz are the ones that are ruling the teachers now

Wtf

This is lack of discipline

Im sorry teacher And im morensorry for the young kid Where does kids learn such behaviour, Unless they've endured it? The whole family needs help... Please don't punish the child....love is what's needed... My heart is aching 💔

When I was in grade 4, we worshipped our teachers. The thought of assaulting them never crossed our minds. What has become of the children of today?

I blame all this imported Western PC kak.

The little annoying insect. The parents must be ashamed of themselves.

Not that he liked school anyway... now that is punishment... not

Nonsense laws in SA humanrightslaw ur works

Bad kid very bad

A grade 4 pupil did this to a teacher and yet it’s illegal to spank a child?! As if there are not enough useless men in the country already, stupid policies are being put in place to ensure that even more children grow up to be entitled pricks with no accountability

Until people in charge of our education be real parents, mothers and fathers will continue to see these films. People in charge are the one failing us. To day going to school and not going to school is almost same, our leaders don't even know the importance of modern educ

The number of stories and videos i see of angry school kids 💔 and teachers having to deal with it all 😭

Thixo abantwana akuviwa

Let the government pay for the damages nx yho😠

Serious action must be taken

Reach out to the little rascal. He just had a bad day. Talk nicely to him. Actually, klap him against his kop, no marks.

2020 it become the next school problem blame it on Poverty Economic Apartheid

I mean a 9year old?😳 ga re sa itse.

Ngeloxesha kuthiwa teachers are the immediate parents during the day. How is she going to be like after this ordeal? Suspension or not kwenzekile. I blame the ANC for being the liker of things. They copy and paste European things too much.

This is the result of some laws... A learner must be punished severely! Why can't a teacher discipline a learner but a learner can go to this extent with a teacher?

Great 4? A nine year old? Yoh.

Isazoqhubeka lento as long abantu abadala bangakazi separation of powers, umthetho waphuma constitutional court ukuthi bangashaywa manje abanye sebakhomba uhulumeni njani, ngoba nasendlini awumthinti usaba ukuyocamela ngengalo, vele if lo ma'am ubemphindisele ngabe usenkingeni

For a minute i thought its Vatiswa

I don't know what I would do to that child if it were my own. I once tried to rebel against a teacher who happened to be my father's friend. Gosh, didn't I regret it, I just remember that 1 slap from Papa that knocked me out. I'm 40 now and I miss that guy!

Eish!! Time to bring back corporal punishment!! Six of the best for the juvenile delinquent!! Whip his bloody backside !!

A whole Grade 4. 🙆🏽‍♂️

I blame the government

This is 100% the parents fault.

We thank the Constitutional Court for this. They are doing a wonderful job. Our kids as young as 11 can now assault teachers.

Bring the cane back to the Headteacher's office. Then no suspension. He gets his single dose every morning.

Does he even about the suspension? Discipline the child 👶.

Suspended? Should be arrested

I used to think that primary school teachers are safe kanti kuyafana nje😔

Kufuneka iDistance learning all the way

Parents we failin teachers

So now our teachers are not safe why can't you allow this kids to teach themselves, as they have more power than teachers and parents.

Grade 4 pupil (standard 2) in our times assaulting the whole teacher. Yo yo yo I remember Mam Ngwenya and Mam Zondo you wouldn’t even dare look them in the eye when they talk to u, imagine lifting your hand

Eish good people it’s really rough out there as teacher

Unbelieverble

Yooh why yena uteacher eyeka abethwe kanje ngumntana oku grade4 yooh hayi kodwa!!

Grade 4 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️😳

And here i am studying to be a teacher🤔🤔

A grade 4 learner😲 we are raising animals mos.

Are teaching vultures or what kind of there species are grooming that's inequality will never end hence it's in black blood

Where does a Grade 4 pupil learn this from? We need to go back to basics. There’s so much that’s just not working and let’s not blame it all on government...

Suspension frm school like a slap on the wrist..

Grade 4 That's Chucky

A Grade 4 thug ...yo! Parenting disaster!! What a future we have ahead of us.

So sad Mme, I don't think any of your own kids has ever thought of causing so much damage to you. Is this the price you pay for trying to turn a little monster into normal human. Get well soon...

And the Constitution doesn't allow parents to discipline their kids. We are doomed.

Grade 4 what are these kids made off tjoh

The newgeneration of today are to spoiled with these rights. Back in the 1990's it was disciplined

If it was the other way around poor teacher was going to be dismissed

Ziyajika izinto!Lafa elihle kakhulu.

Any comment MEC LESUFI. the child have rights to an education in South Africa.

Human rights correct kopsiekte

Grade 4?

'ANC govt, please, say after me: spare the rod and spoil the child.'

Lesufi

Imagine this being my mom.... nka bolaya ngwana nna 😫😫😫😫😫

Blames should go to the government is protecting these kids too much. I'm still asking,what ll happen many more years to come as government are employing younger teacher without any strategy to protect them. Policies states clearly that after 7dys he/she ll come to the same class

I don't blame these children for being violent. Homeschool your kids, that will save them from abuse.

😳😳😳 a grade 4?

No problem.....NO CORPORAL PUNISHMENT THEN SELF DEFENSE AGREE

If this child can do this at his age and grade, imagine when he's 20+

Give him a zero ma'am

Dismissal or no dismissal,anganya kum.

Many children who do this don't respect their parents at home. Children who were brought up well have respect and can't do this to the old people.

Eish, this is demonic

Ooh madoda

What did the teacher do. I went hospital coz of principal at primary n high school in grade coz of principal. They hurt me n they apologized n forgive them in grade 12 they chase me they said I should go home coz I was wearing with shirt 👚 instead of blue n I did have that time

Eish sorry ma'am

This thing of pupils assualting educators is out of hand serious 🤞no maan these little rascals need more than a suspension they must be locked up.
