A Gauteng teacher, Sonya de Vynck, has been suspended after threatening to kneel on pupils' necks.A white teacher at a Gauteng private school who allegedly threatened pupils with the same fate that befell American George Floyd has been placed on suspension.

Sonya de Vynck, a life orientation and art teacher at Pinnacle College Kyalami in Kyalami, was suspended on Friday. This was after she allegedly threatened to re-enact the final moments of Floyd, an African American who died after a white policeman pressed his knee into his neck while he lay sprawled on the ground in handcuffs.

In a letter addressed to parents on Friday, Pinnacle College's COO Christo de Wit said the school was deeply shocked by the comments made by their teacher. “As you are aware the teacher has been suspended. The principal has chosen to take special leave after reflecting on the pace and manner of the first response to the reports,” De Wit said.

You have to kill the tree of racism then racism will be completely dead but when he's been stopped somebody can resumed again and start again it has to be killed completely

I just wish one white do that to my family.

No race mentioned anywhere in what she said but hey when you need something to devide your people so they don't see you screwing them over completely I guess this bullshit will do.

Will be great to have zilevandamme helenzille jsteenhuisen and DA grand stand on this just as they speaking about Mr Khoza and SADF....Talk about missed opportunity. You have got to reprimand this nonsense in strongest possible terms. Do you even support BlackLivesMatter

Teacher says 'she didn't mean any harm.' ' Sticks and stones............ but words will never harm me' is the most untruthful rhyme that we ever pass on to our children. She needs to be rebuked/punished in some way.

Must be fired

Where is the picture of the racist? Why not put it on your headline? This is nonsense reporting we have been fed all this time, why hide picture of the racist on the article?

Been wonder this entire time ukuthi I wonder what are racist saying here at home and internationally. What are they planning. Are they even scared. Am I paranoid for think bathi don't worry it will blow over in the 10 days and we start over like nothing happened...

Fuck him!

Media can not get SA riled up for George Floyd because of Collins Khoza, so now they are trying to use this incident to achieve it. This headline is pure evil. Wanting to stoke a race war in this scarred country is evil.

Let he be fired, we don't tolerate nonsensical things in Mzansi.

What's gonna happen when the suspension has ended? It's not like she is gonna cured from racism after her suspension

Report on farm murders. Schools are not even open. Fake news mxm!

Tell us when she is fired this is no joke

Just trying to understand this? I can get angry and maybe throw some f*cks around, lose it, but I have never threatened another with violence, let alone kids that are not my own and my responsibility

Tshepo: Skaba hemisa mam Teacher: Cheppu do you want my knee on your neck

A suspension is not enough. This teacher should never be allowed to set foot inside a classroom again. People like this have no honorable intentions of moralizing their racists ideologies...

Some people never learn...

You guys don't have her photo?

Fool! Never learn stop this behavior it's not ok

Good day Hope you are doing well,can you please help out with food vouchers. I'm a student and I'm starting my exams next week, I stay with my mom who is unemployed and and my younger sister please help with anything you've got,It will be appreciated. My number is 0679635034 😭

White teacher suspended after threatening to kneel on pupil's necksIn a letter addressed to parents on Friday, Pinnacle Colleges chief operating officer Christo de Wit said the school was deeply shocked by the comments made by their teacher. White poeple will always say they dont know where it came from, they are not racist. Its a LIE. You are racist, you know where it came from, all your braais and gatherings where you freely speak in that manner. She must be fired! Suspension is not enough surely she’s a RACIST!! IF THE African National Covid 19 Looters and allies keep quiet on CollinsKhoza THEY HAVE NO LEGITIMACY IN SPEAKING ABOUT BLACK RACISM BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT RACISM, and this is the way to keep their knees on citizen’s neck by denying civil rights and the right to live !!!
