CAPE TOWN – The South African Council of Educators<\/a> (SACE) on Wednesday told Members of Parliament that reports of sexual abuse by teachers rose by more than 230% in the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council said it dealt with complaints of corporal punishment, verbal abuse, sexual misconduct and rape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to sexual cases, the offenders were mostly teachers aged between 45 and 54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council\u2019s CEO Ella Mokgalane said: \u201cWhen we deal with sexual abuse-related cases, a learner remains a learner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DA Member of Parliament Nomsa Marchesi questioned the council about why cases of sexual abuse were not reported to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am concerned as there are cases where learners were abused, and those cases did not go to the police. What prevented you from doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to its annual report, the council dealt with 93 cases of sexual misconduct against teachers in the year under review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
