JUST IN | Sonya de Vynck, a life orientation and art teacher at Pinnacle College Kyalami in Kyalami was suspended on Friday. Tankmaester

“This has caused significant hurt. We are in the process of meeting with the students directly involved and commend them for the courage displayed in these discussions. We have also engaged with the staff,” he said.

During an online class on Thursday, De Vynck allegedly said:"If you don't hand in your practice drawings when we get back, then I will give you something to protest about, and maybe sit on your necks.”"It wasn't my intention and I didn't want to put someone down who lost their lives while people were watching and being helpless.

"I never wanted to offend you. I never wanted to offend Mr Floyd. I would never - I know you need time but just know that I am not a person like that, I am not a racist person. I would never have done that. It was a silly thing that popped into my head."

I guess it was a black child

People forgive me, I was angry and the learner provoked me ( crocodile tears)

This just again proves how careful one must be when making remarks or posting on soc media. How many a teacher must have threatened in a joke to 'Fix up' a learner being out of hand. And it was a 'joke'.But this was really very irresponsible esp now with the happenings in the US.

South Africans still stuck on name calling.....will always be slaves and live in poverty.....its the only thing they get excited about

When are we publishing something bad a black person said. Or does that not happen? The one-sidedness getting boring.

My kids attended Bryanston Parallel medium and Fourways High :same racism. Their hair was an issue, had to be braided or straightened in a bob and racist comments about monkeys from teachers. And many more.

Such incidents can easily lead one to conclude that most whites are inherently racist, they try but fail to hide it..

Afriforum is probably providing support 👀

I hope he gets fired, and arrested 💔💔💔😒

Fire the b$%

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 !!!

Fire her, she does not deserve that job.

If she is allowed to teach again, then she will get her wish, 'something to protest about' we remember that teacher who separated black kids from whites, she is teaching again, this time around there must be real consequences, cause this is getting annoying now

Maybe!! it was not me,i was not at school that day🙃🙃🙃

What dd you expect with such a NAME 'SONYA' just applauded the behavior

Dear Mr Lesufi what is your response to this?

Lesufi please make sure she is fired.

'I'm not a racist' 'I would never do that' 'it was a silly thing that popped into my head'

no she was not....but her being white was...🇿🇦

She is a disgrace

Pathetic and bloody racist white.

Suspension is not enough

Fire her once

LOVECOSTA_DJ Without pay , nothing else

Is she suspend or fired?

I wonder how long is that suspension gonna be. 💔

Tankmaester why not suspend CyrilRamaphosa and goons fighting to keep their knees on citizens neck, killing small businesses and killing citizens civil rights to choose, all in the name of covid 19, this is Bullsh*&t by African National Covid 19 Looters !!

Parents want white teacher who threatened to kneel on students' necks firedPinnacle College's life orientation and art teacher threatened to re-enact the moments that led to Floyd, an African-American who died after a white policeman pressed his knee into his neck while he lay sprawled on the ground and handcuffed. Tankmaester Tankmaester It's such a shame that when the entire WORLD is trying to fight the racism scarge we still find ppl who thrive in such behaviour,, I pity your children who have to grow up in an evil enviroment you created for them... To artificially make everything that is not racially related to let it sound and look like racism-related is actually childish and making the real occurrence of racism cheap. Sounds like these black parents want white teachers to be kept away from black kids. Of course, this is not a new idea. It was called segregation in the past. They're asking for a return to segregation.
