TimesLIVE reports that a 30-year-old Mpumalanga teacher is behind bars for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old pupil.
The teacher has been charged with child sexual grooming and supplying, exposing and displaying pornography to a child. Brig Leonard Hlathi indicated as follows: “Reports indicate that the mother of the girl was at home on November 5 when she entered her daughter's bedroom. She noticed a cellphone that she did not recognise under a pillow. The child was confronted about the person who bought her the cellphone. The daughter eventually admitted that the man, who is believed to be a teacher at the girl's school, bought it for her.” The mother went through the phone and discovered pornographic pictures that had been exchanged between the teacher and the pupil. She then contacted the police. The teacher has since appeared in the Kabokweni Magistrate’s Court where the matter was postponed to Friday for a formal bail application.
