The Sowetan newspaper on Friday in Pretoria said that the teacher was jailed on Wednesday for hitting an eight year pupil with a hosepipe for failing a class test. The incident was said to have occurred on Feb. 8, 2014, at Gordon`s Primary School in Alexandra, north of Johannesburg.
According to the publication, the Magistrate, Gideon Suhnetler, was quoted as saying that it was time teachers realized that corporal punishment was outlawed in South Africa. The magistrate exercised leniency and jailed the convict for one year because she was the sole breadwinner in her family and had two children. The teacher`s husband, the publication also said, was unemployed.
