Residents of Maphoitsile village near Taung are expected to picket outside Maphoitsile Primary School on Tuesday over sexual assault allegations against the principal.
It is alleged that the principal sexually assaulted a Grade 6 learner by touching her inappropriately. According to South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) branch organiser, Luckyboy Tidikwe, the learner informed her grandmother that the principal fondled her breasts and private parts, but nothing has been done to address the matter.
“We understand that the principal allegedly touched the breasts and private parts of a learner and this did not happen once or twice, but more than three times. The learner informed her grandmother, who went to the school to confront the principal.
“However, it seems this matter was not reported to the North West Education department because nothing has happened to address it. Now, as SANCO and members of the community, we call for the removal of the principal,” Tidikwe said.
He further said they cannot allow their learners to be under “monsters” supervision and situation should be just normal. Tidikwe added that, the department should conduct thorough investigations to check how many learners were also sexually abused by the same “predator”.
Meanwhile, the North West Education department spokesperson, Elias Malindi said he will respond later as he is still gathering facts around the matter.

That’s shocking, they’re undermining our community thinking that they lack information,the case must be investigated thoroughly and you’ll find out that he abused lot of learners before. Let give our law enforcement officers to do their work.
