The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) confirmed that the grade 7 teacher was arrested at a Mossel Bay school in September. He made his first court appearance two days later, where the case was postponed to 4 October for a formal bail application. However, it was later rolled over to 19 October.

During the bail application, the State will oppose the accused’s Schedule 6 bail application. In order to be granted bail, the accused will have to prove that it is in the interest of justice for him to be released. Until then, the man will remain behind bars.
These shocking allegations have sent shockwaves through the community and have raised concerns about the safety of children in schools. The NPA has assured the public that they are committed to ensuring justice is served in this case and that the accused will face the full consequences of his actions if found guilty.
