A teacher in Limpopo, South Africa, is accused of repeatedly engaging in sexual relationships with students, despite community leaders, authorities, and parents being aware of the situation. The lack of action from these individuals has allowed the teacher to continue his alleged predatory behavior.
A teacher from Zivuko Secondary School in Nkowankowa Tzaneen, Limpopo, is accused of repeatedly engaging in sexual relationships with pupils. Alarmingly, community leaders, authorities, and parents are aware of these alleged actions, yet no concrete steps have been taken to address the situation. The teacher's wife revealed a chilling incident where he brought a pregnant student to her, claiming she was ill.
He then requested the doctor to perform an abortion, stating they were the girl's parents. The doctor refused due to the advanced stage of the pregnancy. Days later, the student disappeared and returned a month later, visibly thinner. This suggests the wife was complicit in the teacher's actions, possibly driven by financial dependence on him. While the teacher confessed to his actions during an interrogation by the Community Policing Forum (CPF) members, no punitive measures were taken. The apology was accepted by his wife and CPF leaders. Moreover, the doctor was allegedly informed about the situation but failed to report it to the police. The lack of action from these individuals has allowed the teacher to continue his alleged predatory behavior. The matter further escalated when community members discovered the teacher was involved with another 17-year-old student from the same school. This time, a community leader reported the incident to the police, who initially promised an investigation but later stated the case could not be opened due to insufficient evidence. It is suspected that the teacher exploited the vulnerability of these students from impoverished backgrounds, offering them money in exchange for their silence
