An errant teacher who beat up his superior and slept during a workshop has failed in his bid to milk the taxpayers of R4.6m.

“He beat Mr Modiroa with a fist on the face and grabbed him by the leg. Mr Modiroa fell. He went on top of Modiroa on the floor. They ran to rescue Mr Modiroa,” Dijoe testified.

“[Teffo] did not have lesson plans by April. They were not even on soft copy. He denied that he discouraged learners to submit their activities. He could not do as he was the one accountable to the parents and department.” Mokoma said “it is pure lies that he instructed the learners to run on the tables”.

“He sought intervention from his immediate supervisor to motivate the learners to submit their work. The learners were discouraged by the principal not to submit hence there were blank spaces. He used previous question papers towards exams and gave activities which included 80% from previous exam paper for internal exam and less from activities of the learners’ book.”About the workshop forum, he said he remained seated until 12pm, recording all that was being said.
