The Mercury reports that a northern KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) teacher has denied having sex with schoolgirls after videos of him engaging in sex circulated on social networks.
His lawyer, Bruce Macgregor, confirmed on Wednesday that it was the teacher at the school in Nquthu who was in the videos, but said the women having sex with him had all been identified and they were adults in their late twenties and early thirties. KZN Education MEC Mthandeni Dlungwane visited the school and went to the Nquthu police station to open a criminal charge against the teacher. He said at least six girls between the ages of 15 and 16 had come forward with allegations against the teacher. Macgregor said he had conducted his own investigation and his findings were contrary to the allegations. He also said he had checked with the police and no schoolgirl had made a statement. Macgregor added: “The police don’t require him to hand himself over because they have realised that there is more to the story.”
