At least 48 teachers have been fired for sexually abusing pupils in the past 14 months across SA. The fired teachers have been declared unsuitable to work with children.
The Education Labour Relations Council has sided with the Gauteng Education Department's decision to dismiss a teacher who allegedly had sexual relations with pupils at Katlehong High School.

THE Gauteng Education Department is set to improve the standard of education in townships so children do not have to travel to schools that are far from their residence.
On Monday, Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi, Premier David Makhura, Infrastructure Development MEC Tasneem Motara and Ekurhuleni mayor Mzwandile Masina officially handed over the R77 million state-of-the-art Abram Hlophe Primary School, Ekurhuleni, to the community of Katlehong.
The new school is named after Abram “Buddy” Hlophe, a former pupil at Katlehong High School. Hlophe later became a community and political activist who fought for educational facilities to be brought closer to the townships but was killed in Katlehong in 1992.
