Slindile Phoswa spoke exclusively to TimesLIVE after her son was locked overnight in his classroom at Blessed Luanda Primary School in Bulwer, west of Durban, for allegedly not doing his school work.
The child spent about 17 hours alone in the classroom - from about 2pm until 6.30am - before his cries were heard. "At first I wasn't worried when he didn't come home directly after school but he is a kid who likes playing with his friends after school.""I started calling my mom and his father's house to see if maybe he didn't go there after school. I also went to the kids who went to school with him, and they told me that he was at school that day but they hadn't seen him after school.
