Sex offender teacher still in job six years later CapeTimesSA
Cape Town – After fighting allegations of sexual harassment for seven years, a Mfuleni teacher has lost his fifth appeal, but his continued employment as a teacher has been slammed. Labour Court judge Anton Steenkamp delivered a scathing judgment earlier this month, saying Monde Chris Satani was grasping at straws and the matter had dragged on for seven years at considerable cost to the fiscus.
“WCED acted in terms of the relevant policies and procedures and the teacher was found guilty of misconduct fined R6000 and given a final written warning. The teacher has been challenging the sanction and decision by the presiding officer ever since. Satani, the class teacher, called them to his desk to discuss their marks. According to the pupil, he called them individually to his desk, asked her if she knew that she was beautiful, and for her cellphone number. He also asked her if she had a boyfriend, if she went out walking at night and if she would meet him in the bush.
Among the grounds for Satani’s appeal was that the complainant should have called other pupils as witnesses. “This matter has dragged on for seven years at considerable cost to the fiscus It should, at the very latest, have stopped after the second arbitration.
