Pretoria teacher suspended after allegedly sexual assaulting 9 pupils
Pretoria - The Gauteng department of education says it is investigating a school in Pretoria after nine learners were allegedly sexually assaulted by a teacher.
Spokesperson Oupa Bodibe said on Friday that the teacher had "fondled" the learners' private parts at the school last week.
"The officials from the department visited the school already and continue with an investigation which will be finalised in due course accordingly," Bodibe said.
Bodibe said the teacher had been served with a notice of intention to suspend him on Friday.
He said the suspension meant that the teacher would not be at work on Monday, September 11, and that learners could go to school without any fear.
