In 2017, a teacher at a Cape Town high school sexually assaulted a pupil.But a little more than a month ago, after many delays, he was convicted in court and is scheduled to be sentenced on 20 June.Ayanda Ntuthu sexually assaulted a boy at Thandokhulu High School in Mowbray, Cape Town, in 2017. Ntuthu isIn May 2017, the school held a sleepover event on its premises. Ntuthu sexually assaulted the boy at this event.
The following video also came to light, showing Ntuthu beating a student with a belt. This too is assault in South African law. The department issued Ntuthu with a final written warning for this, and fined him. When the matter was heard on 2 November 2017, the prosecutor said there was still one outstanding statement. Ntuthu’s lawyer requested that the case be struck off the court roll until the state was ready to proceed.
On 22 May 2018, more than a year after the incident happened, the charges against Ntuthu were withdrawn due to procedural failures. The prosecution claimed it could not locate the witnesses because the investigating officer had been on leave. Spokesperson Bronagh Hammond responded, saying the department had received a complaint of improper conduct and assault against the educator in March 2017.
Western Cape NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabalaliza confirmed that the case had been withdrawn in March 2018, after the court refused further postponements. He said that a new investigator was appointed, and the matter was reinstated in September 2018.
