The department says there are four cases of sexual abuse in KZN, involving 6 teachers.

"In one incident three educators are accused of gang raping a learner.  In another incident an HOD, school principal and a teacher are seen in a video sexually abusing a learner" says DBE spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga.

Mhlanga says the teacher seen in a video allegedly chasing a girl around a classroom, and hitting her with a stick, is also amongst the group to be suspended.

The department says all of these cases have been reported to the police.
