was heard before the Johannesburg High Court in December 2020, where Section27’s case dealt with the “shockingly lenient sanction” imposed on the teachers, who pleaded guilty to assaulting the victims.ALSO READ:The teachers were fined R15 000, of which R10 000 was suspended, and received another suspended sentence of having their names struck of the teachers’ roll for ten years.
In its leave to appeal the judgement on Tuesday, Section27 argued on behalf of the applicants that Fourie erred in his intepretation of “what constitutes an unreasonable delay when applying for a review”. Although Fourie did grant relief to amend SACE’s mandatory sanctions previously, this part of the judgement was counter-appealed by SACE.SACE’s “lenient sanctions” meant it was failing in its role to maintain and protect the ethical and professional standards for educators, Section27 said.
