A father, whose son was grabbed by his clothes and thrown onto the floor by a cleaner at school, says the perpetrator got away with only a 'slap on the wrist' for the assault.
He said he was shocked when he received a call from the school a few days later informing him that something bad had happened to his son.
"I got to the school and I was told that the cleaner went into the classroom that my son was in and he grabbed him by his clothes, picked him up and threw him to the floor." Mokgako said the school reported the matter to the Gauteng department of education and an investigation was launched. "The investigation led to a disciplinary hearing which happened in December and there were witnesses. His union advised him to plead guilty so that he is shown leniency," he said."My son is traumatised because of this man. He has anger issues because of what happened. He has to face this man everyday he gets back to school. It's hard for him.""I didn't hit that child. I didn't lay a finger on him, but I reprimanded him.
