Pretoria - The Springvale Primary School teacher who appeared in court for allegedly assaulting an 11-year-old Grade 6 learner over the theft of a bottle of sparkling water has alleged her only intention was to mentor him and prevent the learner from hurting himself.
Annelise Boot, 54, appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court for the charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm she faces following the incident which took place on February 21 2020.
According to the state Boot intentionally assaulted the learner by throttling, kicking and pressing him on the chest with her knee whilst pulling his arms upwards.
Then, on March 27, Plaatje allegedly offered him R28 000.
When Masange was arrested in Pretoria last year, Mtshweni-Tsipane placed him on special leave.
He had not yet returned to work when he ran foul of the law again.
Mtshweni-Tsipane’s spokesperson, Sibongile Mkani-Mpolweni, said:
“Masange’s been served with a notice of intention to suspend in accordance with fair administrative processes, as outlined in the Public Service Act and regulations, the Senior Management Service handbook and other related prescriptions.”
Luphondo and Plaatje are also facing internal disciplinary action for their alleged role in this crime.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Sipho Ngwema said the NPA had initiated “relevant labour processes” against Luphondo, meaning he will be charged and hauled before a disciplinary committee.
