A teacher has been fired after a disciplinary hearing was told he made his wife and a schoolgirl pregnant simultaneously.
Lauren Randall, an assistant director in the Western Cape education department, testified at the Education Labour Relations Council hearing that in November 2019 the girl told the principal of Mount View High School in Hanover Park that Jabaar had made her pregnant and paid for her abortion two months earlier.
When the teacher reneged on the plan, the complaint was reinstated, only to be withdrawn for a second time when the payment was negotiated between the families of Jabaar and the schoolgirl.Jason Fry, the deputy director: advisory services in the education department, said he and Randall interviewed the girl and her father together.
“He noticed that [the father] was doing all the talking and that the learner appeared reluctant to speak in front of her father,” Singh-Bhoopchand said in her finding. Fry said he also confronted Jabaar with evidence provided by the girl and his response was that “it was all true. He said that he had reneged on his agreement to marry the learner because he was already married and that his wife was pregnant.”
