THE SCHOOL governing body (SGB) of Hoërskool Jan Viljoen in Randfontein, which is currently embroiled in an alleged racism row, has agreed to suspend a teacher who was accused of sexual harassment by pupils.
This week, the school made national headlines after clashes broke out between black and white parents over allegations of racism at the school.
This after several videos of a brawl between black and white pupils went viral on social media, along with voice notes in which defamatory language, including the K-word, was used.
On Monday, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi visited the school to try and calm the situation.
It was during that visit that pupils told Lesufi about a particular staff member who was allegedly sexually harassing them, much to his shock.
He said: “As indicated at our last meeting, I spoke to the SGB, and the SGB has agreed to suspend the staff member that was implicated by learners in terms of sexual harassment cases. The intention today was to give an update on all those activities.”
