A video has gone viral showing a teacher at Jeppe Boys High School in Johannesburg insulting a school pupil and even showing him the middle finger, Sowetan reported.
“God you are such an idiot‚ I have to say to you‚ stop your sh*t and work. Really‚ where is your book? Where are your notes? What the f*ck is it doing in your case. Oh shut up you idiot‚ you cannot talk back because you know you are guilty,” the teacher can be heard saying in the video.
The video has caused outrage, with some viewers even saying the teacher should be fired. According to Sowetan, the matter is currently under investigation by the Gauteng Department of Education.
The school released a statement on its website saying it is in full cooperation with the department regarding the matter.
