North West Premier Thandi Modise has called
for no bail to be granted to a teacher accused of raping a learner near
Zeerust.
It is alleged that the 44-year-old teacher
asked the 13-year-old learner to remain behind after school; he then proceeded
and took the learner to the school toilet where he allegedly raped her.
The teacher is appearing in court today for
his bail application.
Premier Modise Spokesperson Lesiba Kgwele
said though the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty, the
allegations levelled against him are not only serious but despicable as they
suggest that he might have betrayed the loco parents trust.
Kgwele added that Premier Modise reiterated
her call for real men to support the moral regeneration by taking a stand
against adolescent pregnancy and the scourge of rape.
