Bryanston High School SGB denies allegations that it withheld information about sexual abuse of pupils | ntwaagae
The school governing body of Bryanston High School in Johannesburg has denied that it withheld any sensitive information, which an anti-abuse group says prevented more sexual abuse victims from coming out.
The 33-year-old coach, who has not pleaded yet, is facing sexual assault charges at the Alexandra Regional Court. He is expected back in court on March 12. She said the school had persuaded the parents of the victims to follow the disciplinary instead of the criminal route. "Some teachers don't want to be seen standing next to the investigating officer. The school has also misled MEC Panyaza Lesufi. We believe the abuse started a while back. We believe that the girls were sexually groomed by their coach. We demand that the SGB hand over those statements to the police," she said."The school should have followed the criminal process, rather than the disciplinary hearing.
