A gun-toting high school teacher, who allegedly pointed her gun at pupils because they were unruly, has been placed on suspension by the KwaZulu-Natal education department.
The department made the decision after investigating claims by angry parents of pupils at Phambili High in Rossburgh, Durban, that the teacher carried a gun to school and was intimidating their children.
Parents who spoke to TimesLIVE said the teacher had"wielded power" at the school which at times strained her relations with the principal. “This issue has dragged on for some time. That’s why we are unequivocal in calling for her sacking,” said one parent.
