GroundUp has the 28-second video, but because faces are identifiable in it, has decided not to publish it."It has been continuing for a long time," said a Grade 9 girl."Using corporal punishment has never stopped in our school. We would be given strokes with a pipe for drinking water during break time. The learners queue to drink water during break time. The bell would ring while some of us are still drinking water.
"Some parents still believe that corporal punishment is right. All the learners are against that. Last week we decided to capture him [on camera] while he beat the latecomers at the gate. We wanted to get attention from the Department of Education. We know our rights and we are aware that corporal punishment is unacceptable in schools," said the learner."We will send our officials to go to the school to verify this … We will not hesitate to take disciplinary action.
"It is rude for learners to come late. Some of them have valid reasons … Parents have also discussed the matter but we don't see eye to eye. That is the problem at the moment. The school must abide by the rules that are set to guide them on how to operate," she said.

iamsuekhan GroundUp_News What's wrong with that? Corporal punishment is part and parcel of learning that's why nowadays u get a lot of firebrands and rebellious pupils in school because every infringement go unpunished
GroundUp_News Well done. Give him Bells
GroundUp_News FFS, whether you agree with corporal punishment or not, you don’t hit children for being late! The circumstances surrounding their tardiness must be investigated. There’s other ways to discipline children.
GroundUp_News He should have hugged them.
GroundUp_News That teacher must hit them again should they be late
GroundUp_News Ziphelile iindaba? 😏🤔
GroundUp_News So?
GroundUp_News I salute the teacher, these kids need to be disciplined. Some of them they just come late because they were standing in corners smoking and all that shit. Children needs to be taught to obey the rules, which ever way that is going to work. Even if it takes giving them a hiding.
GroundUp_News Getting to school late is the parents fault
GroundUp_News That school deserve an .....🎉🎊🎈
GroundUp_News No news here
GroundUp_News If this was done more often perhaps we’d have less violence in schools.
GroundUp_News Then we are surprised when students are violent. They are begin taught how to deal with conflict. Further, teachers are constantly late for class. If folks thinks it works for students (though it proven otherwise,) let's also beat late teachers.
GroundUp_News Well done teacher
GroundUp_News Good for her
GroundUp_News Whoever has problems with that must go to that school to solve late coming of learners. Most of those complaining about these have their kids in private schools

GroundUp_News Lovely. Keep it up beloved teacher.
GroundUp_News I know times change, we used to get beaten for late coming and thereafter, we wouldn't repeat coming late coz we knew what would come thereafter. So it helped me. Im only speaking for myself
GroundUp_News maybe they will be on time tomorrow
GroundUp_News Is that a problem
GroundUp_News So these poor kids already have to wake up early, walk kilometers in horrible conditions and sometimes hungry and then they still get beaten for being late?
GroundUp_News Why are these teachers so sadistic? Punishing kids unnecessarily considering the distances that have to be travelled and siblings that need caring for. Do they enjoy inflicting pain?
GroundUp_News Shappa!

Survivorexit But SABC news says they are two of them who passed on SGBs must check thoroughly that these people who sell food are known to the school authirity so that if such things happen they will be held accountable. This must stop. Please refer to legal/rught definition of killed, this is mediocre reporting at most.
