Johannesburg – A Johannesburg teacher who was suspended for allegedly sending a 16-year-old pupil a picture of himself naked will be back in court in November, Gauteng police said.
“He is going to appear in court again on 6 November 2013,” said Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela. The appearance would take place at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court.
The teacher was arrested in August.
EyeWitness news reported earlier on Monday that the teacher was out on bail after the mother laid criminal charges against him.
The Gauteng education department reportedly said an independent investigation had been launched into the school and the district office’s handling of the case.
“The teacher is suspended and we have put in place an independent investigation that will cover all circumstances regarding this case,” spokesperson Gershwin Chuenyane was quoted as saying.
“The department will be guided by the outcome of the investigation on what action to take.”
According to the report, on 30 July the teacher engaged in a late-night WhatsApp chat with the boy’s mother, thinking it was him. The teacher allegedly sent numerous sexual images and made sexual suggestions.
The mother saw an image of a man sitting naked in a bathtub appear on the screen of her son’s cellphone, it was reported.
She has not been named to protect her son’s identity. The mother went to the national education department. She said it took over a week for the teacher to be suspended.

Take for instance, Mary Gowans. Even the evidence showed that Mary Gowans and the-then 14 year old student exchanged over 2,000 text messages, some of the text messages of which were overtly sexualized in nature. One provocative text message Mary Gowans sent to the student was “Christmas came early, babe 🙂 ”. Mary Gowans even let the student into her home under the guise of babysitting employment. Mary Gowans seemed to be the typical pedophile who groomed the student to perform sexual intercourse with her, but the lack of evidence or common sense resulted in the Judge ruling a not guilty charge for the accusation of pedophile charges.
Gordy Stefulic, current Chair of the Toronto Schools Administrator Association was accused of having sexual intercourse with students dating back to the 1990s. In 2008, Gordy Stefulic was accused of recording, distributing and sharing child pornography with under-aged students of Etobicoke Collegiate Institute and Silverthorn Collegiate Institute. Three students were implicated in massaging and fondling Gordy Stefulic on Toronto District School Board property. One female student alleged that Gordy Stefulic directed a male student to sexually harass her because Gordy Stefulic had a grudge against Muslim female students who wore the conventional headdress. The female Muslim student and her parents filed several complaints to the former TDSB Director Dr. Chris Spence, but to date the Muslim female student and her parents received no reply of the sexual assault which occurred in 2007.
Vivian Mavrou, current Vice Principal of Martingrove Collegiate Institute was a known white supremacist and sexual predator who was incompetent as a Mathematics teacher while she was teaching at Thistletown Collegiate Institute in the early 2000s. Because of the teachers’ union tenure policies which favoured old white middle and upper class Canadians, Vivian Mavrou was promoted to Silverthorn Collegiate Institute as a Vice Principal. Allegations surfaced about Vivian Mavrou and a school bully who were seen in Vivian Mavrou’s vehicle after school hours. Some students alleged Vivian Mavrou had sexual interference with the 15 year old school bully, and this conflict of interest caused many innocent students to become victims of school bullying. Vivian Mavrou failed to protect the students from being physically, emotionally and sexually assaulted by the school bully because Vivian Mavrou was having sex with the school bully and returned the favour by giving the school bully permission to bully students! The Toronto District School Board cited lack of evidence when the investigation was given and Vivian Mavrou was transferred to Martingrove Collegiate Institute where she enforced fascist policies to students to suppress freedom of speech in Toronto schools.
