A school principal from KwaZulu-Natal was found not guilty for rape and indecent assault on two school girls.

Shunmugan Munsani, 45, was acquitted in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Thursday.

Judge King Ndlovu and Judge Noel Hurt presiding on the case found the charges against him untrue, according to the Cape Argus.

Munsami is now suing the parents of the two schoolgirls who charged him, for R5 million.

One of the girls said he had raped her in his car. Both alleged that he had called them to his office and indecently assaulted them.

Munsami was suspended in 2002 as principal for Brooklyn Heights Primary School in Crossmoor, Chatsworth following the charges laid against him.
