Two school guards have come out to expose a principal who they say was found having s*x with students in South Africa.
The guards revealed that the principal has been having s*x schoolgirls for many years. However they have always kept quiet because it was a case of their word against his.
According to Daily Sun SA, they claimed that they were fired after exposing the principal.
“A pupil at the school was brave enough to come out and talk about what has been going on in the school,” said Moses Mazibuko (57) who was a security guard at a school in the Joburg CBD.
“She came to us with a video of the principal having sex with her in the hope that something could be done.
"The explicit video shows a man and a young woman having s*x in a room. The man’s face is clearly visible. It is obvious he knows the girl is making the video. He is seen taking off his clothes and the sex act is clearly visible."
Moses said they decided to report the matter to the vice principal and other top members of the school admin.
“But our efforts to do what’s right have left us unemployed. I have been working at the school for 14 years and I never had problems with any of the principals,” said Moses.
The guards said they were fired without any explanation and they weren’t even paid the money that was due to them.
“We weren’t told why we were fired. This man needs to be exposed. What he is doing is not right. He can fire us but we won’t keep quiet.”
Another fired guard, Samkelo Mbhebhe (48) said the principal is scared of what will happen if the parents find out what he’s doing.
“The girls are afraid to come forward as they are scared of him. He buys them gifts to bribe them to keep them quiet.”
Daily Sun spoke to the principal.
“The guards are making false accusations because they are bitter about losing their jobs,” he said. “I don’t understand why they’re angry with me.”
He said the school hired a new security company that brought in new guards.
“The school is not allowed to hire its own security. It is ordered by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority,” he said.
When he was offered a viewing of the video he refused.
“I don’t know anything about it. I have never seen it. If there is a video, send it to the department of eduction and I will answer to them.”
Oupa Bodibe, spokesman for the Gauteng Department of Education, said the department has not received any formal complaint concerning the allegations.
However, he said the matter has been referred to the dispute management directorate for investigation.
“We are extremely disappointed at the alleged conduct of the principal. Educators should lead by example to ensure that pupils mirror their conduct in creating a safe school environment.”
He said they consider the conduct as unwelcome behaviour towards pupils as it could interfere with the rights of pupils to receive an education.
