The Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) said on Thursday that several teachers at Vaal High School in Vanderbijlpark were under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct.
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi appointed a law firm to investigate the allegations against the teachers and the school principal, department spokesman Steve Mabona said.
This followed allegations of sexual misconduct at school, which surfaced recently on social media.
Subsequently, Lesufi visited the school on October 1 and interacted with the school administration and some stakeholders; therefore, he needed a report from the district on how to proceed with the matter. We can confirm that after receiving the report, he decided to appoint a law firm. “
Mabona said that the GDE would announce the outcome of the investigation and implement recommendations.
