SABC News reports that the Eastern Cape Department of Education has confirmed that a team of psychologists has been dispatched to a school in Tsolo.
According to provincial spokesperson Malibongwe Mtima, this comes after allegations that the school principal allegedly kidnapped two learners from the hostel, pointed a firearm at them and allegedly tried to rape them. The principal was arrested and is facing charges including kidnapping, attempted murder and rape, and possession of an unlicenced firearm. Mtima advised: “Yes, we can confirm that the principal is incarcerated as we speak. Details of his arrest are known by the department as we got them today at the court. The kids are at safe home and getting psychosocial support, they are also writing their examination.” He added: “A fact-finding mission by the department is being conducted by the provincial psychologist and the social worker to ensure that the department also gets its side of the story.”
