Chairperson, I move without notice: That the Council -
(1) notes that a 46-year-old Grade 11 high school teacher was arrested yesterday for allegedly raping 11 pupils in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni;
(2) further notes that allegedly the teacher would tell students to stay behind after class so that he could help them with their homework and then rape them;
(3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms the hideous behaviour of the teacher, who has shown the utmost contempt for the ethos and values of the teaching profession and has held the profession in despicable contempt; and
(4) calls on the MEC for education in Gauteng to ensure that this teacher is not allowed to set foot anywhere near a school.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
