Phenomenal slap👍 Well deserved. Well executed.

And that is where the problem lies - the mother! If she raised her child to be a respectful student knowing her place, this would not have happened. You start pushing a teacher around, what do you expect? In my day all hell would break lose on my backside for disrespecting teache

This is insane! So the one that has no respect nor manners get the sticker.

Why do these kids carry phones at school? Let me call Mancobo of Uzalo to send amaphara wakhe to these schools to collect these phones umntana makashiye ifoun endlini BAZALI demet!!! EfouneluMangcobo

We need to know to ther fullest, why the teacher decided to slap that child?, that's our interest. Discipline of learners sometimes in our schools is unbearable. I should also suggest that each school in South Africa be provided by at least a Clinical Psychologist or s/worker

I always ask myself what did we do to this world to deserve such rude kids in a classroom...

So Etv is actually inciting division and being sensational. Shame on u. This country doesn’t need that. Please practice responsible journalism

For eNCa to use that strap about racism. They were actually manipulating the news. Not a single cosas member came out saying that. The reason why the network used that was to cushion the blow should anyone bring it up. They knew it wasn’t racism. But they let with it

There's to much fake black tweeters,I see lot of white comments with black profile pictures.

I think educators have rights to correct kids whose parents have failed to do so. That girl pushed the teacher into slapping her. The mother should have been happy that someone is helping her raising in a proper way

A teacher is human too. What would Jesus do , or if it was u

This teacher didn’t do anything wrong, that child is insane. She should do that to at a shopping mall and I will cast out that demon

It’s just a pity the teacher lost her cool.

LandNoli The mother is right to lay charges,no one has a right to beat up anyone like that regardless of how wrong that person might be.Nobody has a right to anyone’s body,a real teacher will process her anger and stay away from children’s bodies.This is sheer mannerism n act of respect🙂

LandNoli Yes the child is disrespectful but the teacher was wrong to slap her. We don’t take children to school 2b slapped. U can’t adress a teenager’s naughtiness by fuming at her. The teacher should’ve known better on how to deal with this crisis,slapping shouldn’t have been an option.

It's shocking to see people justifying violence in 2019. No amount of provocation justifies any form of violence. As a father, this is very painful to watch.

.....and it's the right thing to do, well done Mom

If it wasn't for the one child recording this we would be saying the child is lying.. so here's the question is it wrong to use your phone in class for the right reasons.

I'll mannered or rude or whatever the student may be, it's not the teachers job to dish out punishment. There are other avenues to deal with a rude learner.

Eish thina during our primary and high school days...we got smacked and did nothing it was so much like a norm

If her daughter did not provoke the situation with her kak attitude, she wouldn't have gotten a PK!

In SA we entertain Nonsense sometimes. This lady is pretending that she's never hit her child. Her daughter is disrespectful

I wouldn't be a functional adult hadn't I had a slap or two when clearly a flogging would've been justified

The teacher cannot burst open her anger on a school child and expect a school child to sympathize with her. Any child would be irritated if you shout at them like that, irrespective of what they did or which background they come from. The teacher seems to have anger issues.

The teacher might not be racist, the pupil was wrong to be on cell phone and not to have correct book, No matter how disrespectful pupil was, The teacher had no right to slap the pupil like that! I am sorry , but the teacher did not handle the situation right!!!

Good for her. She must go back home and undo all the damage she has done for not teaching her child manners and how to talk to adults. This whole saga is a direct result of her parenting. I don't condone the slap but the mother has a lot of work to do.

BIzwelethu Kaboshwee lo mlungu unikezwe ubani imvumo yokutshaya ingane

But that kid was wrong though from word go.l Understand the teacher must have not let her anger get the best of her. but that kid came with a wrong attitude, was on the phone and wanted to act like the teacher sore at her when clearly that women said nothing

We directly expose to a violent society ,it's starts at home,

Fair. However the mother should drive some discipline into her child. She too acted like an ill-disciplined brat.

That child was just plain rude. She knows the rules that no phones are allowed and backchatting. Shows there is no discipline at home. I would have smacked her myself. Shows we come from a different generation. But now race is being thrown in again.

These little kids of today have no respect. I support the Teacher 👩🏾‍🏫 100%

The useless mother needs to be slapped as well

I saw the video and don't think its about race. That pupil was disrespectful. But slapping her. No no no! Teacher should've left the classroom rather

Weird to see that the focus is on the child cause she is holding a phone in class and it reflects bad manners and all.The child taking the video is having manners i presume. Both teacher and child were wrong, however the teacher is trained to deal with this matter professionally

Yes the teacher lost her cool. Not acceptable.But kids today have no discipline or respect. I would not teach school 4 all the money u could pay. & black teachers hit & sexually assault black kids all the time. Now this is a race incident for the EFF!

I would have slapped that kid myself, tired of this bad behavior by kids nxa!

MokgadiMaeko Children especially teenagers almost always go against parents teachings when with peers. To assume that the childs parents failed in their duties is irresponsible. Especially when you know the parents.

MokgadiMaeko I see a lot of women empathise with the teacher here, even blaming the learners parents for failing to instill respects on her. Trying to play the devil's advocate in this case is a shame.. Imagine if that was a woman being assaulted by her man for being disrespectful...?

These bloody cell phones! Akukho ngane laphaya

Teach ur child manners mother, lay charges later

The child is direspectful...Period!! So much attitude 🙆🏾‍♀️👀...this is not a racial issue but a disciplinary one! Teacher lost her cool we all agree but that child provoked such

Expell the child... good.... the teacher must face the full of the law.... physical abuse is illegal.... no imminent danger to the teacher even after she had slapped the girl..... they shouldn't give an option of a fine....

To see how stupid this kid is other kids are siding with a teacher and this mama must be ashamed of her self for not teaching her kid good value of life instead she opening a case her spoil bret gal push a desk towards the teacher very aggressive and push her

Teacher hate to teach blacks, look at how she hit the table

Hey ENCA, you are the front runner for starting all this racist crap

Teachers are sometimes wrong...if you speak from experience

This is not about racism or what, that child was wrong for not obeying the rules nd disrespecting the teacher, but the teacher was not suppose to respond like that.

I wonder how many times she has slapped the child herself

All the comment come from people that are not teachers. Have you wondered why?

It is about race, that teacher fought and poked threatening that child over her usage of language she the teacher do not like to hear spoken irrespective!

Really its hard time for classroom to have CCTV footage camera.. Teachers are also irritated by pupils.. Look at how that girl responds to the teacher, what are we teaching our children at home. Fairness is needed.. kodwa ke teach you lost it hard....

That mother must spend more time educating her child or else society will educate her, and no one wants that.

If it was a black teacher slapping a whites child it would have been a different story

That mom is the problem... may be she wins this case but it is a hollow victory. Let us track this students future as a case study! Manners & respect is taught at home.

The mother should questioning the bad behaviour of her child. She is not doing her child any favours by letting her get away with her bad behaviour

Nna nkebe ke shapile klapa on repeat and I would've also called her parents using her phone while slapping her a little bit more on the way to the principal's office. Ain't no snot-sniffling teen going to act extra in my classroom. Would've stuck my foot up her ass too. Jerrr

Good

So many soft-cock people here. You don't deserve to be parents if you feel the teacher was wrong. Your kids will end up killing you for a lack of training and discipline. Love must be tough sometimes and this is ine of thise times. Boeremeisie moet haar weer klap. Jessess

This kids don't have manners. And most importantly cellphones must be outlawed at schools especially during lessons. That lame mother must teach her child manners than seeking publicity. She and her child are annoying

I hope she also disciplines the child.

I thank you to everyone especially Black people who have shown support for the teacher. Tht mother expected us to support such behaviour, no ways! Yes teacher was wrong for clapping her bt we understand where does that comes frm (anger) we can Fix it without putting race in

Honestly mara the nerve guys this girl pushed the teacher teach your children manners it begins with us parents...

She should have lay charges against herself for bieng a bad mother who failed to teach her child respect

Lays charges for the PK? My folks would have given me another few PKs if i was so disrespectful towards a teacher. Will the teacher also being laying charges 🤔

Lays charges against teacher who assaulted learner.

Omw shame how crazy the world has become

The parents of today are failing their children. We would be beaten with sticks and sjamboks etc, but not once did we lay charges against teachers.

There's two sides to a story

South africans lost the meaning of racism a child who does not respect the teacher and the teacher who losses temper now is called racism if that child did what she did to a black teacher we will be singing a different tune

The mother is the reason why that child is so disrespectful, nxa. The teacher must lay charges against her for failing to teach her child manners

Foolish woman

Good move ma

And,the class startd again on a good note...there are more to being a teacher,shoutin or tryin to forcefully command respect in class don't work...we teachers just need to be extremely patient.when learners love and appreciate our efforts,that will command respect from them to us

I had dis same experience in my class last week, the learner was so rude and disrespectful to me,after 2 hours his fellow learners brought him to the staff room to come apologise to me ,I insisted he apologised to me in class since everything happened there,the boy apologised .

Learners get so rude,am sure the fellow learners would have cautioned her if the teacher was nice and truly being loved by learners.the learner will even be the one to apologise to the teacher.our learners do think and feel guilty especially when they have done something wrong

What about the child causing the problem?

That mother needs to be taught how to raise a child.

Am also a teacher,the teacher was totally wrong, there are ways u treat learners in class,I won't support the learner either,when the teacher saw the learners was getting so rude,she could have just walked out.the learner could have injured her if she had any sharp object

This matter should be looked at from both sides

See where the child gets her sense of entitlement from? Maybe the mother should have taught her child some discipline instead...this is our problem in schools today..parents!

Great mom , you have my full support. What’s with the ‘using another language in my class ‘ nonsense, not racist 🤔?

The little girl was wrong. We accept that. But nothing in this world can justify the behavior of the teacher. Let’s call a spade a spade. The teacher was too aggressive aka violent under the circumstance.

Educators should stay at home till they are protected by the law I mean a learner can not do that and expect the educator to just ignore her.. How can you teach after the learner does that obviously other learners will copy the behavior coz its the trend and if learners fail😲

Let her go ahead... next time the same daughter will be laying charges against the same mother after she catches her with a man in bed in her house.

What's Julius saying?

mxo1 Has she slapped a white teenager in class before?

Kg_The_1

Yes mom, yes, that was gross abuse!

Maybe she should teach her daughter obedience and respect!

I'm sorry but the Golden rule applies to anyone, that Child had zero respect, any parent would have reacted.

Whatever happened the kid didn't deserved to get slapped. There are measures in place for kids who are misbehaving e.g suspension pending hearing. The teacher took it personal & it was unprofessional of her.

Wait until that child starts beating her mom up that mother will remember the teacher and wish she had thanked her for slapping some sense into the child..

Mommy it’s your right to go to court, however I am sorry you are raising a very rude child and this will come and bite you one day. Your child will blame you bitterly for your failure. The teacher is also human and she was pushed too far.

Evidently, the Learner broke the school's regulations by having cellphone in class and refused to obey her teacher's repeated instruction. She was clearly provocative and disrespectful towards her teacher. The Teacher was wrong to lose her cool but who wouldn't!

Mother should be charged for bringing up her daughter incorrectly. The child should listen to the teacher. Not the other way around. When I went to school, you did what the teacher said unless you wanted a hiding.

What a shame 😏 she'll regret this decision in 5 years from now. O godisha phaga straight 👎🏾

My dearly departed mom would have slapped me when I got home!

Even the bible says spare the rod and spoil the child. Leave that teacher alone she was doing that useless mother a favor

Mxm, brats who aren't disciplined at home bring their bad behavior to school, I'm glad someone brought her down to earth! My mother & father would have moered me too! South Africans being South Africans & obsessed with racE, are again screaming RACISM from the top of their lungs

My mom would have been cheering the teacher on if I spoke to any adult like that. However physical violence is never the answer, the teacher should lay counter charges and extra fees for being the girls actual mom and teaching her manners. The students attitude was unsavoury.

That child would not have dared to do that in a rural eastern Cape school, teachers dont play with ill disciplined kids...

Spare the rod and spoil the child.. ,,,we got worse hidings from teachers in the 80s and did not dare report it to our parents otherwise a better hiding followed...

I hope the teacher is going to lay a counter assault charge

Umm the mother needs to drop the charges. One day that daughter is going to pitch up home pregnant with triples because of the unruly behaviour she is condoning. Yes it hurts for your child to be slapped by someone but eish at times it pays just to have a word with your own child

The child is wrong...period. The teacher was provoked by an ill mannered child.

corporal punishment disappeared so to respect for teacher lead to disrespect for parents, elders and themselves.

That mother must teach her child to not undermine the authority of a teacher. She can do that to her not other people. Nonsense.

Stop breeding. How about that?

mother mustnt make the mistake treating her daughter like the victim . They were both wrong.if that was my daughter i would slap her myself.

If A student doesn't write tests they will fail...fact If a student is disrespectful in class then you can call parent, slap child, walk out, call the principal or chase the child away...opinion

She did a terrible job at raising that child. Her child won't get far with that attitude.

Mother should teach her child to respect authority and elders and some basic respect for others 🤚🏿 It is truly sad what our teachers have to put up with, they wonder why they are leaving in droves🙈

Ningakhuluma nikhihlize amagwebu umthetho Awuvumi kushaywe izingane eskoleni angiyiphathike eyempama, ku ngeyami lengane ngabe nami ngitokile ku namhlanje kombose kababa

We raising shitty human beings this child was wrong it's not a race issue it's a respect issue the child has none

This is an internal departmental issue. Prosecutors should decline to prosecute cause child was the aggressor or else teacher must open a counter charge of Assault

Good mama

I really hope that teacher is fine.

South Africa is creating it's own new generation, a generation that is full of evil. I feel for that teacher but God will stand on her behalf.

The Mother needs to be charged for raising a delinquent !!!?

The learner pushed a desk against the teacher& learner was slapped.Can some one tell us what went wrong in that class first!! Teachers today are facing stressful challenges from wild & ill discipline learners & some are back chatting to teacher! Yes slapping a learner is wrong!!!

Teacher could have handled it differently by referring it to principal or something and outcomes could be better, her outburst attack to a pupil was extreme even under the circumstances ,that retaliation was vicious.

My mother would have had to lay charges everyday against the whole teacher staff at my old high school if slapping a child on the face had been against the law back in 2005 ...that teacher must do time for assualt

Well done mommy, I am proud of you, I hope that woman gets a lesson of a life time, damn she Is angry!!!!

The teacher must just admit guilt n move on. The child need guidance she disrespected the teacher n for her to even have a relationship phone on her hand im a class which is in session n even fight to get it back was just uncalled for.

Well, she might win the legal battle...but life will slap that little girl harder if she doesn't shape up. Good luck to her.

I don't wanna make presumptions here... But I can't help thinking of that one kid in class who was defiant and purposefully disruptive. We all know we shouldn't talk when a teacher is talking, and we aren't supposed to be using a phone in class. I wonder what happened here.

Non of this would have happened, if the learner was behaving good.

The student should be expelled, If she does that to a teacher imagine what she does to other learners and younger learners. Bet money that child is a bully at that school.

Omg abantu basemzantsi a too dramatic, over sensitive to racial issue ,& would do anything to get attention even of they condone disrespect. Hayi ndincamile, the end of world is seriously close😲😱

Ya neh we don't considered what the child did but we looking the last scene why did he take a phone basakhuluma naye

The teacher knows well not to do that. Sometimes you just need to let go. Moloa ha o na taba le hore ngwana o fositse ha kae.

That's messed up.

And enca chose this pic to distance the racist remarks the teacher used to the learner

This time around I’m with the teacher, Black or White. That girl, bring her here for a day. Don’t make a race issue even. She’s ill mannered that’s it

I hope the mother will also discipline the child in some way

What I'm happy about is that rude children will later turn to their parents and then they Will find no one to blame than pushing it to govt.

I don't know how I feel about this student/teacher issue but let the parent press charges, the little monster is gonna terrorise her too.

raise ur child Better nawe

How different was school when we were growing up. My mother would have slapped me again just for telling her the teacher slapped me.

The child was wrong but the teacher was worse that wasn't a slap for disciplining but a fighting slap

Let's talk to her after 15 years from now?

If young ones r not disciplined

Back in my days we had a lot of respect for teachers. If we failed a test, 6 van beste & we'd be in trouble at home as well. Fail a test dan brand jou agterent twee keer in een dag.

Oksalayo ingane yakho I wrong Mami...

Uyazi some of us cannot stomach uthethelwa like what that teacher was doing so to be slapped on top of that is just ridiculous...So I do not blame the child...A teacher is a parent at school so she should have taken a high road and not act like an imbecile. FireHer!

So the child breaks all the rules has a phone and pushes the desk then attacks her,wants nothing to do with rules.Hope he gets kicked out of school and has his charges laid against him.

Lay charges against the parents and the kid for lack of respect, they have probably been goading this teacher, why were they filming at that exact moment ?

These brats are spoilt, this shows that being an educator you are now dancing to the tune of these kids, backed by their parents. Race or no race, that child was wrong to even use the cellphone at class, provoking the educators is what students of today do best

ReeeNtuli Sounds like one of those parents who don't want to hear anything negative about their kids. Once that child becomes an adult,the reality check will slap harder than that teacher🤞🏽

The bloody parents are in need of a klop. They are breeding another hooligan.

I'd like to see one parent that would do nothing if their child was smacked like that... And I know had that child been white she wouldn't have even touched her

She must be arrested and fired. She must go work at the mines.

Im going to lay a charge against the mother for not teaching her daughter some manners.

Now I c where her attitudes comes from.

Mna bendizothenga ilahle and hunt her down.

We support the mother. It is about race. It wouldn't have happened to a white child.

Learner was arrogant but didn't deserve that slap, teacher has anger issues. She is too violent and she can't control her emotions.Two wrongs don't make a right.

These young ones aren't disciplined. Teachers aren't disciplined. It's a mess. I blame parenting more than teachers.

“You are speaking another language in my class” where the fuck does she think she is? The teacher places her hands on the kid first when she tries to put the phone inside the chest pocket. She pushes the desk towards the learner first. Lock her up! Sue the school for negligence.

Teachers are humans, no matter how learned we become, we snap. Let us blacks and whites teach our children to respect their elders

Good move.

Hope the teacher lays counter charges 🇿🇦

She should also raise her child better.....

I would have done the same thing. Kinders moet LUISTER. That's why black kids are struggling at school, no parental guidance, I bet the Parents don't even attend meetings but they will surely attend this one 'ON-TIME'. NothingtodowithRACE

She must teach her kid raising a spolit brat kid that is ill disciplined

Your child needs urgenr intervention. Qeqesha umntana mama if akakohluli nawe.

Let me guess, 'activists and the overgrown ill-discipline COSAS rascals told her to lay the charge'🤔. SansSouci

Big-up to those children

Myself having to talk to my daughter about certain things over and over make me angry imagine as a teacher having to deal with over 40kids at the same time? then you get children like this that’s trying to keep them big for their boots imagine having to deal with all of them?

She dumb that kid won't survive much in this world yet become anything you protect your from disobedience. This will haunt her as a parent once she realise her child true nature single parent u can tell there's no racist here smash that lil $hite

Brave learners. cosas does not seem to know about the 11 official languages and I am amazed that he made racist remarks himself. Oh dear. When are we going to respect each other and live together. I object to being classified as 'white' and therfore racist.

Akaboshwe!!!

Mother setting a poor example that’s why the child has attitude problems!

Spoiled confused mother raised spoiled her daughter too, what a doomed fam

Did the child not push her desk firmly against the teacher and physically push her? Will charges be laid against the child for that?

I would never encourage my kid for wrong doings

Mommy your daughter is wrong as well.. with love 💕 and respect from another mum.. I don’t condone violence whatsoever but look at it from both sides, 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕

The lady teacher was too emotional. Saw the video. Teachers must be taught to manage their anger. Off course learners sometimes become so mischievous. Lets support both the kid n the teacher with whatever deems necessary.

everything is about race.. The more you understand it the bettee

Smart move, I'm waiting for this hypocrites who perpetrate violence to weigh in their views.

She must be the child's best teacher.
