Teacher in court for allegedly having sex with learners

Police say the 44-year-old man handed himself over to Durban Central Police yesterday where he was charged with rape and sexual assault.

Two weeks ago, one of the videos surfaced, leading to the Education Department visiting the school.

The department says it has confirmed that the girls in the videos are pupils at the school.

The teacher briefly appeared in court yesterday morning where the matter was postponed for further investigation as well as a bail application.

Last week, the teacher, through a lawyer's letter, denied having had sex with learners - saying it was adult women in the video, including his wife and his girlfriend.

He threatened to take legal action against the department, accusing them of not doing a thorough investigation before going public with the allegations against him.
