sancoANA reports that according to the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco), criminal charges should be pursued against the Reiger Park High School principal who resigned after “his alleged sex video with pupils” emerged on social media last week.  

Sanco expressed disappointment that education authorities had allowed the alleged perpetrator the space to resign without punishment commensurate with his “atrocious and despicable” conduct.  Sanco national spokesman Jabu Mahlangu said:  “Failure to institute disciplinary action against the said individual has allowed him to cash in on resignation benefits that he would have forfeited had he been dismissed.”  In his view, disciplinary procedures should adhere to the provisions of the Public Service Act, which directed that when an official resigned after disciplinary action had been instituted against them he or she would be deemed to have been fired.
