A distraught northern Kwazulu-natal mother will be attending court tomorrow to face the teacher who is alleged to have raped her daughter.<\/p>\n

The teacher, at a prominent Dundee school, is alleged to have sexually assaulted the 14-year-old girl in school last Friday.<\/p>\n

A letter to parents, teachers and pupils from the school governing body (SGB) said: \u201cThe SGB regrets to inform you about the traumatic incident that took place at the school on Friday. We do not have enough words to express our shock and utter dismay. We are sad to state that a departmental educator allegedly sexually assaulted a learner during school time on Friday. The parents were informed immediately of this incident. The learner was assisted and supported by the school\u2019s psychologist and taken to the Dundee Hospital Crisis Centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter further stated that the teacher was removed from the school by police and a criminal charge was registered. It confirmed that the matter was reported to the provincial Education Department for a full investigation.<\/p>\n

It stated that the reaction to the incident \u201cwas violent and extreme, and the principal also came under attack\u201d.<\/p>\n

This week, the girl\u2019s angry mother rubbished the SGB\u2019S claims that the parents were informed immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was only when my husband went to fetch my daughter from school that he found out. He could not find her outside school and when he tried calling her she did not answer. He tried again and a lady answered saying he should come inside as there had been an incident. When my husband went in the lady told him our daughter was assaulted. At that time he did not know our daughter was raped. My husband then asked a family friend who works at the school to take him to the boy. My husband lost it when he saw it was a teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school never contacted us when the incident happened or even thereafter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school did not even arrange counselling for my child. We had to take her to a child psychiatrist. She is normally a very bubbly, outspoken and talkative child, but is now withdrawn and doesn\u2019t want to go out. She hasn\u2019t been eating. The hardest part is she is on antiretrovirals which is making her more sick,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The mother said she and her husband were very protective of their three daughters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are old-fashioned parents. We don\u2019t allow our daughters to go for sleepovers. We take them to school and madressa, and fetch them. We are so guarded with our children and for this to happen. We now ask ourselves where did we drop the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis school is supposed to be one of the best schools. And you get this. The teacher is supposed to be protecting the children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The mother said she would definitely be in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to hide from him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Colonel Thembeka Mbele, police spokesperson, confirmed that a 36-year-old suspect was arrested for raping a 14-year-old female.<\/p>\n
