CHILDREN BEAT TEACHER WHO FAILED THEM

NORTHERN Province police are looking for a group of primary school children who allegedly attacked their teacher in protest against failing. Grade 7 teacher Mzamani Kenneth Mthathi was handing out reports at Mahlakatzi Primary School near Giyani when six boys lost their tempers after they learnt they had to repeat the year. The boys then attacked Mthathi, kicking and punching him until other teachers intervened. – African Eye News Service
