A Gauteng teacher, Sonya de Vynck, has been suspended after threatening to kneel on pupils' necks.A white teacher at a Gauteng private school who allegedly threatened pupils with the same fate that befell American George Floyd has been placed on suspension.
Sonya de Vynck, a life orientation and art teacher at Pinnacle College Kyalami in Kyalami, was suspended on Friday. This was after she allegedly threatened to re-enact the final moments of Floyd, an African American who died after a white policeman pressed his knee into his neck while he lay sprawled on the ground in handcuffs.
In a letter addressed to parents on Friday, Pinnacle College's COO Christo de Wit said the school was deeply shocked by the comments made by their teacher. “As you are aware the teacher has been suspended. The principal has chosen to take special leave after reflecting on the pace and manner of the first response to the reports,” De Wit said.
Should be suspended for not following through. It's time for teachers to back schooling, they are supposed to teach and students study. You step out of line you get punished. Discipline & responsibility! bringcorporalpunishment
This is unacceptable. We do not need people like this in our schools, and a joke like this is bad.
Sonya De Vynck.
Was s/he suspended bcos what s/he said is associated with the American death of Flyod in police hands?..
She deserves to be jailed & be placed on solitary confinement
fake news
Psycho nutjobs like this teacher are not only a danger to the pupils but a danger to themselves ...
Even in African languages, there's a saying translated; 'I'm going to sit on your neck until that work/chore is done & complete'. Get real people, it's a figure of speech
She got served
Don’t just suspend but fire the bloody racist. We are tired of these things
She must be fired and never to get a job in her life
SA whites always defends shit
Why are you not using his picture?
3 white people killed by black males during home invasion. Your turn...
Good 👍
Black man puts knee on white man's neck
she must be suspended from teaching for at least 5 years and serve in a community clinic for 18 months without pay
'A silly thing that popped into my head'. That's what you think and sorry that is inhumane and it is racist.
Fire her! Fire her! BlackTwitterMovement Do your thing! BLACKTWlTTERHQ
That motherfucker should also be charged for inciting violence and hate speech. Suspension alone is not enough!
Ha haa. What nonsence makes the news today' it's a joke. The media needs the punishment for entrenching these false ideas into minds of the public.
Did not take times live long to find bullshit said in jest to stir the pot i see. Your relevance is waning year by year
😂people like digging their own graves....
If the teacher was black, would he/she still be suspended? If not, then it was racist to suspend the teacher
Has humor died?
This thing confuses me was it only directed to blacks or mix in that school group chat🙋♂️
You the media are all opportunist fuelling the negative! You see what happens in the US, it's the media's fault. The media is the evil we need to get rid of the scum. Posting stuff like this is just making things worse, this country does not need any racial tension at this time!!
Give the name we need to deal with her.
Fire and block that teacher from database She must never be hired to teach ever in South Africa
I never believed in evolution . But after all this i can see . Man is evolving back to an ape
Wrong joke wow RacismMustFall
what racist, only government BBBEE racist policy's, and thats how 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, VIVA by African National Covid 19 Looters
Pathetic really. I hope she approaches Afriforum for assistance.
Simpel vent. ...hoort glad nie in onderwys sisteem nie.
Err is nobody pointing out the obvious, pupils have more rights than prisoners who has more rights than a taxpayer. Pupils were probably unruly and uncontrollable. Maybe even a humorous idle threat. Everything is not bloody racist. Teachers suffer daily abuse. What about them?
Serves her right
white south africans are most racist and unrepent human beings
Ma-Afrika, please watch the YouTube video by Dr Robin Diangelo or read her book titled' White Fragility': Why White People don't want to discuss about RACISM.
Schools are not even open! How fake is this news!
I am so fucking sick of all these stories and putting extra cherries on top of the cake. Racism is one way in Southafrica - some people can say JUST what they want to, and nothing is said.
He doesn't have a name
Lock this woman up!😭😭😭

Stupid, yes, insensitive, yes, but racism when the comment was directed at the entire multiracial class? You're pulling a top hat out a rabbit on this one.

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.
