The South African Human Rights
Commission said it is concerned about the increase in incidents of corporal
punishment in schools across the country.
SAHRC Spokesperson Isaac Mangena
said through the complaints it has received it has also noted instances where
the violence committed by educators against learners, extends far beyond the
field of the definition of corporal punishment.
Mangena said there is a need to
inform strategies that aim to eradicate the scourge of corporal punishments.
He added that the commission hopes
that the meeting is one of the many that will come because there were about
2000 incidents of corporal punishment that were reported.
