ANA reports that Gauteng MEC for Education, Panyaza Lesufi, expressed his disappointment and disgust on Friday after pictures emerged on social media allegedly involving a school principal in a compromised position with pupils in his office.
The school concerned is apparently Reiger Park High School in Boksburg. The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) said in a statement: "Our enquiry revealed that the principal resigned in October 2017; and as such his last day was 15 January 2018. It must be noted that he is no longer in the employment of the department; however we will report him to the South African Council of Educators (SACE) to be struck of the roll with immediate effect." The department said it was ready to support all pupils and parents and indicated that that it has a zero-tolerance stance on allegations of sexual assault and has never hesitated to act.
