Natu calls for Mpumalanga principal’s suspension after allegedly assaulting a teacher in front of pupils, leaving the teacher bleeding.
There are calls for the Mpumalanga provincial education department to suspend a principal accused of assaulting another teacher in front of pupils, National Teachers’ Union made the call as the acting principal of Lifalethu Primary School in Embalenhle is expected to appear at the Evander Magistrate’s Court tomorrow on common assault charges.
“We are disappointed because the acting principal has not been suspended despite the fact that she is facing serious allegations. I reported this matter on Friday and I was expecting that today she will be suspended to allow the investigation to take place,” said Natu provincial chair Pat Navela.“We don’t want the assaulted member to return to work and find her there. When I telephoned the circuit manager for an update, he told me he had not received the report concerning the matter.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Captain Magonseni Nkosi said it was a normal procedure that in a common assault case the accused person could be released on warning and be ordered to appear in court.
