Sekhukhune times cannot name the accused perpetrator and the learners because are minors. Victims told their peers and parents that the principal was allegedly giving them money in the exchange of sex. They also accused him of touching their bums repeatedly

In a complaint meeting the accused principal caught saying “They are three girls, I bought the first one trouser and took her to Tsimanyane hospital because she was not feeling well, second one I paid her Saturday school fees and the third one I gave her R2000 but then she later demanded R4000 which I didn’t gave her. I therefore ask forgiveness,”

The Democratic Alliance (DA) ward councillor said the principal demoralised morals of the young girls.
