Witbank News reports that a teenager (18) from an eMalahleni, Mpumalanga, high school appeared in the Witbank Magistrate’s Court on Monday after two teachers were pushed off the steps in front of the administration office.
Video footage, taken on 9 September, shows a learner pushing one teacher down the steps and then pushing a second teacher who came to her aid. “The teen was arrested after police viewed the video, which contradicted the boy and his mother’s attempt to open a case against the teachers,” said a police spokesperson, Sergeant David Ratau, who is also the school’s Adopt-a-Cop. The case against the learner was postponed to 12 November, and he was released on a warning. In addition to the legal proceedings, the school’s headmaster confirmed that a disciplinary hearing for the learner would be taking place on Tuesday.
