The grandmother of the young schoolboy who was instructed to search among faeces for a principal’s cellphone in a pit latrine believes that justice for her grandson has been served, after the principal was banned from teaching at any school in the country for the rest of his life. She believes the decision by the SA Council of Educators (SACE) to strike Lubeko Mgandela off the register of teachers will serve as a warning to other teachers.
A former Eastern Cape school principal who instructed a pupil to search for his lost phone among faeces in a pit toilet, has been removed from the register of educators and will never be allowed to work with children again.
The sacking of two teachers found guilty of sexual transgressions involving pupils is most welcome and sends a strong message to others about the serious consequences for such misconduct.
A teacher at the prestigious Woodridge College and Preparatory school outside Gqeberha has resigned over allegations of misconduct he allegedly perpetrated against a pupil nearly 10 years ago.
