Gauteng teacher thrilled about being back in class dies day after schools reopen | News24

"Welcome back from the holidays. Are you ready for 2023? I am teacher Cherani van der Westhuizen from the Bunny Class. We are extremely excited to have you back," she said in a video posted on the Roodepoort school's Facebook page.

However, Van der Westhuizen died a day after schools reopened from a suspected asthma attack, leaving her colleagues shattered.The school's head of department, Antoinette Rousseau said Van der Westhuizen had a lot planned for the year ahead as the new grade head. "She had a lot of plans. Days before, we had a meeting as teachers, and the whole time she told us how excited she was with the year to come and had a lot of plans.

"Even when I was speaking to her daughter, she said, 'mommy was so excited for this year'. It's so sad that she won't get to carry out her plans," Rousseau added. Rousseau said her death came after she suffered a severe asthma attack."Her mother was the one who called to tell us of her passing, and it was a great shock, mainly because we had a parents' meeting the evening before.

"We talked to her, and everything was fine. The next morning, her mother called to tell us about her passing. It was a great shock. She will be dearly missed by all of us." She added Van der Westhuizen would be remembered for being a kind and loving person who had a passion for teaching Grade R pupils. The Gauteng Department of Education had not responded at the time of publication, and its comment will be added once received.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
