WESTVILLE - A Durban teacher accused of sexually grooming a minor girl at Pitlochry Primary School has a disturbing track record.
The discovery was not even revealed by the school first, but rather in an eNCA report.
At a protest the next day, the principal didn’t see it fit to address them directly.
eNCA has uncovered that the man has managed to remain and progress within the education system, despite previous other allegations that include rape.

The teacher is linked to lewd chats with a 12-year-old girl, which surfaced in April.
Not only has he survived disciplinary action, but he's also been promoted, even as recently as last year.
The South African Council for Educators is also inviting anyone with information about such cases to lodge complaints for investigation.
