A school principal who touched a pupil's buttocks and breasts in his office and two teachers who had improper relationships with a Grade 12 girl have been fired.

At the disciplinary hearing of Umlazi Comtech teachers Mlungisi Ntombela and Thulani Shangase, arbitrator J Kirby said their misconduct did not involve assault and “the learner was a willing participant in her relationships with them. These factors may be considered as mitigatory.”

However, Ntombela kissed the pupil during an assignation in the male toilet at the school library and Shangase had a WhatsApp exchange with the girl in which he tried to arrange secret meetings with her.Kirby described these as “single acts in ongoing unacceptable conduct”. Ntombela had travelled to the girl's home and kissed her in his car sometime earlier, and Shangase had engaged in an early hours WhatsApp exchange of a sexual nature with the girl.

“Educators are entrusted with the care of learners and must always act with the utmost good faith in their conduct towards them,” said Kirby.On Friday, the DA called on the basic education department to revise its policy and procedures on sexual assault at schools.

I dnt think that is enough - they should never be allowed anywhere near kids , they should never teach again in their lives -

What the hell MN. There are prostitutes for this rubbish

Isn’t that sexual harassment? Have they been arrested? Getting fired is simply not good enough. Has no one seen the alarming rape statistics? 10,000 in just 3 months. That’s over 100 PER DAY! And this sick fckkk gets fired? Is that it?

But these Grade 12s they also behave like young women sometimes,

Fired? How old are these school pupils?

There must be jailed too and forfeit their pensions

😳😳😳

Just fired not sentenced?

Dankie Jehovah 🙏
