President Cyril Ramaphosa has condemned the sexual assault of pupils by teachers. He has called on law enforcement authorities to

investigate and arrest the perpetrators.

Ramaphosa addressed South

Africa’s largest teachers’ union, the SA Democratic

Teachers Union (Sadtu) at its congress in

Johannesburg

yesterday.

“As educators, your job is that of a parent to the children who come to your schools, you are not supposed to be lovers of children at schools.

“We say Sadtu should stand firm and pledge to not allow teachers to have

sexual relations with learners,” Ramaphosa said to an applause by delegates.

Sadtu is holding its ninth national

congress at Nasrec.

The congress will hold discussions on education, policies and labour.
