The Witness reports that the teacher who is at the center of a confrontation that led to a Grade 12 pupil in a high school in Jozini pouring boiling water on a fellow pupil has been suspended for a separate matter.
The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Education Department on Monday confirmed that the teacher could have impregnated two other pupils from the same school. Department spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi said after a preliminary investigation following the boiling water incident last week, there were indications that the teacher might be having sexual relations with several pupils. According to Mahlambi, he allegedly impregnated two other pupils from the same school.
The pregnancy investigation came about following the boiling water incident that left a pupil with serious burn wounds that landed her in hospital last week. She was allegedly burnt by a fellow pupil after being accused of having an affair with the teacher. A 17-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The victim remains in a critical condition at Ngwelezane Hospital.
