Parents are expected to lay criminal charges after seven KwaZulu-Natal teachers, many of whom sexually assaulted pupils at their respective schools, were given the boot by Education MEC Kwazi Mshengu, according to a spokesperson.
"We have expelled seven teachers and one administrator. The MEC and the department will not stand by and allow children to be taken advantage of. People must not be afraid to report any matters. As long as we have evidence, we move," department spokesperson Kwazi Mthethwa told News24 on Tuesday.
He added that the one administrator worked at a special needs school.
"These are children who need to be assisted and treated very carefully. This man took advantage."
