News24 reports that a Nquthu teacher accused of filming himself having sex with several pupils has maintained his innocence, strongly denying his alleged misdeeds.  

A lawyer acting for the suspect has since indicated that the sex acts caught on camera were not with minor learners but between "people of age".  Police are investigating a case of statutory rape and no arrest has been made.  Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane appealed on Wednesday to the community to provide information about the suspect’s whereabouts.  Graphic footage allegedly showing a teacher having sex with a pupil was reported to the department of education last week.  The suspected teacher was immediately suspended.
