An errant teacher who beat up his superior and slept during a workshop has failed in his bid to milk the taxpayers of R4.6m.

About the workshop forum, he said he remained seated until 12pm, recording all that was being said. After the break, he asked for a further 20 minutes. His group was speaking Tswana and as does not know the language, he was unable “to engage fully with the group”.

He also denied wrongdoing with regards to collecting the money, saying he had delegated the duty to collect the money to the class leader as he was reliable, but on the day he did not submit the money. “When he asked the learner why he did not submit, he said he should ask the principal for the reason. He explained to the parents why the learners failed and congratulated those who performed well. There was no directive, circular or anything. It was their initiative.”“This is because the principal wanted to kick him out from the school for his selfish reasons. The principal is selfish and irresponsible to sacrifice a teacher at the expense of the learners.
