JOHANNESBURG - A former teacher at a top Cape Town boys’ school is off the hook on misconduct charges.
This comes after it emerged last year, that Fiona Viotti had been having sexual relations with schoolboys at Bishops Diocesan College.

This was because the parents of the pupils would not let them testify.
Viotti resigned from the prestigious Cape Town school after allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against her.
The SA Council for Educators (SACE) has closed its file in its probe against former Bishops Diocesan College teacher Fiona Viotti who was found, by the school, to have engaged in sexual misconduct with five boys from 2013 to 2019.
This was due to a lack of cooperation from witnesses.
SACE said the investigation report was presented to its ethics committee on 3 December.

Twitter/Son In light of the fact that no parent was prepared to allow any of their children to make any statements to SACE, [the] council had no option but to provisionally close the matter with the hope that maybe we may one day come across witnesses [who] will be willing to assist us with our investigations, SACE spokesperson Themba Ndhlovu said in a statement.
