The video of the incident, which shows a heated exchange between teacher and parent, emerged on social media on Monday.

The incident took place on Friday.

Gauteng Education spokesperson Steve Mabona says the teacher has since been removed from the school.

"Educators must always be exemplary figures at our schools by maintaining a high command of good conduct and teaching our learners with dignity.

“We also implore parents to use appropriate channels to address their grievances rather than resorting to other platforms.

“ Furthermore, schools are institutions of learning and they should be treated as such," says Mabona.
