Deputy principal of Jozi school arrested for sexually assaulting six girls

This is one of those stories which shock you to the core. A Johannesburg deputy Principal has been arrested for sexually assaulting six girls.



The deputy principal of a Johannesburg school was arrested for sexually assaulting six girls, of which one was a pupil at the school where his wife worked.

The 50-year-old deputy principal of Roosevelt High School was arrested on Saturday after five girls from his school opened a case of sexual assault against him at the Parkview police station, Eyewitness News reported on Wednesday.

The girl from his wife’s school opened a case at the Sophiatown police station. It was reported that the deputy principal’s wife committed suicide hours after he was arrested.

The Gauteng education department said that disciplinary action will be taken against the deputy principal.

“Because the charges against him are of such a serious nature, the department can’t allow him to return to the school, even if he is granted bail. It can endanger the safety of students,” departmental spokesperson Charles Phahlane said.


Gauteng police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini said the deputy principal had appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

I once had the opportunity to teach at a girls school and I declined because I know I can't keep my hand out the cookie jar, maybe this principal should have been more in touch with his pupils instead of touching his students, here's a little sumtin sumtin from South park.
