SA- It was a sad moment in Mazibuko High School when the truth came to light about an encounter between a 15-year-old student and his female mathematics teacher. Reports say that the teacher recognised as Miss Nompilo Malatji was the alleged criminal who perpetrated the act.
According to the report, the 15-year-old grade 9 learner alleged that his teacher called him on the morning of the crime and told him that he mustn’t go home because his marks were not good hence he needed extra lessons to improve his scores.
The act by the teacher might seem as though she wanted to help the lad since most teachers would teach extra lessons for a fee but sadly, she had a sinister motive at the back of her mind.
The 15-year-old did wait after school and he was reportedly invited to the school’s staff room with a promise that his scores could be changed to look good.
However, when the 15-year-old student got to her office, he got allegedly undressed and raped by his teacher. After the shameful incident, the teacher reportedly promised to add more marks to the student’s maths score but she would only do so if he kept quiet.
The 15-year-old student also accused the teacher of threatening to kill him and the rest of his family if he ever spilt a word. Reacting to the accusations, the said teacher denied all allegations but an investigation is ongoing to determine the truth.
We hope the truth comes out and justice is served.
