Claim: Durban teacher made porn with boys

Durban - A top Durban teacher has been arrested for allegedly getting young boys to make pornographic movies, it was reported on Thursday.

The 48-year-old drama teacher has taught at a number of KwaZulu-Natal high schools and has earned a reputation as a “world-class” teacher, The Mercury reported.

Principals of schools that he had previously worked at were shocked at the allegations.

He will appear in court on Thursday.

Just days ago, the South African Council of Educators revealed that around 100 cases of sexual abuse by teachers are reported every year in South Africa, Eyewitness News reported.

The DA urged the basic education department to take steps to stop teachers from abusing pupils.

In one such case, top Cape Town school Bishops is under investigation for incidents that go back all the way to 1990, it was reported in May.
