At the very least, parents should expect their children to get a decent education in a safe environment.
When a bad apple is found within the school system, especially with regards to a male teacher that is consistently accused of sexual misconduct towards female students, we would also expect swift action to be taken.
That isn’t always the case, and worryingly, leaving one school in disgrace doesn’t mean there isn’t another job waiting somewhere else.
This past Sunday, Carte Blanche focused on one teacher who was reintegrated into the Jozi school system, despite all of the warning signs:
A decade ago, a prestigious private school let their sports coach walk away from his job after sexual misconduct allegations emerged. No charges were laid, no red flags were planted in the schooling system.
Nearly a decade later, fresh allegations of sexual assault, coercion, grooming and rape emerged around him, once again from young girls in his care – this time at a prominent public high school in Johannesburg.
Carte Blanche investigates how the schooling system failed to protect the young lives in its care as an alleged sexual predator operated under the radar.
As bad as that sounds, it’s actually worse when you hear it play by play.
Imagine catching a staff member having sex with a schoolgirl, on school property, and allowing him to walk away without the case being reported to authorities?
