Durban - The mother of an 8-year-old boy who was allegedly punched in the face by his teacher in Gingindlovu in northern KwaZulu-Natal wants justice for her son.
The mother of the Grade 3 pupil said she had opened a case of common assault against the teacher in Eshowe last week. The woman said she and her son were still traumatised by the incident since no action was taken against the teacher several weeks after the incident happened on April 15.“I took him to the hospital as he was complaining of a severe headache and was bleeding from his nose. He also had an injury on the top of his head,” she said.
“Another teacher told me that I should take him for a check up, saying my son complained of headaches in class. I took him for an X-ray and although no injuries were shown, I am worried because he is still complaining of a headache,” she said. She said her neighbour’s child was also beaten up by a teacher at the same school, which meant they were using corporal punishment which was unlawful.
