Shock and anger at assault on teacher

THE South African Council for Educators (SACE) is appalled at a video that has gone viral purporting to show two pupils assaulting and kicking a teacher.

“Something drastic needs to be done to stop learners from conducting themselves in such a manner‚” it said.

The exact circumstances around the video, when and where the assault happened, were still unclear yesterday.

In the 21-second clip‚ a pupil grabs the teacher by her hair while a second kicks her from behind.

The pupil in front then grabs the teacher around her neck and wrestles her to the ground while the other continues to kick.

The council called on the authorities to discipline pupils involved and mete out the harshest punishment. – TimesLIVE
