MEC of Eduction Mthandeni Dlungwane has promised that children at Ekucabangeni High School, Nquthu, will receive counselling following the sex video scandal that rocked the area this week.

A self-made video surfaced of a teacher at the High School having sex with school girls.  The incidents took place in a cottage on the school premises where the teacher stayed.  Furious school children set fire to the cottage.

Students claimed to have taken possession of ‘muthi’ and pornographic material found inside the cottage.  The teacher has since fled the area.  MEC Dlungwane opened a charge against the teacher at the Nquthu Police Station.

At least five school girls have come forward and said that the teacher had had sex with them in the cottage and videoed the sessions.  The video went viral on social media after school boys found the memory card while washing the teacher’s car.

It is believed he selected girls from poor backgrounds, bought groceries for their families and managed to coerce them into performing sexual acts with them.  The girls are said to be traumatised and staff and other pupils at the school in a state of shock. The MEC has promised that counsellors would be sent to the school and plans made to renovate the school which is said to be in a poor condition.
