Breaking local news in Boksburg
A male teacher at Madabani Primary School in the Soutpansberg West Circuit in Limpopo will be investigated by the Department of Education after reports surfaced that he corporally punished a Grade 5 learner, in full view of his classmates, for not doing his homework.The boy’s mother, who wants to remain anonymous, says the family was at first reluctant to bring up the matter as they wanted to protect their son from being victimised at school.
“We also met with the teacher, who convinced us not to lay a charge with the police. He wanted us to keep mum on the matter, but my son’s buttocks were badly swollen,” she says.“As a parent, I am hurt to see my child bruised by someone who should be protecting him.
When contacted for comment, the Department of Education’s spokesman Mike Maringa described the incident as ‘regrettable’, saying that corporal punishment is forbidden.“We are still waiting for the report incident from the principal, circuit manager, and senior district manager,” he said.
