News24 reports that the report into the investigation into allegations that a female Bishops Diocesan College teacher had a relationship with a number of male pupils should be available within the next few days.
Headmaster Guy Pearson said on Friday: "This investigation is not yet complete and we cannot make any comments until it has run its course. We will issue a media statement once it is concluded. We expect the report to be available in the next few days." In October, it was reported that an academic and sports teacher at the school in Rondebosch, Fiona Viotti, had allegedly been involved in a relationship with an 18-year-old pupil. She resigned and was subsequently placed under medical care. Following that, Pearson then acknowledged that "several boys had been affected" over a number of years. Two lawyers were appointed by the school to conduct the investigation and the first pupil affected also had legal representation. Viotti's lawyer William Booth said on Friday that as he understood matters, the school would make a decision based on the investigation, and inform him and his client of the outcome. Booth also said that no criminal charges had been laid regarding the matter.
