A Claremont teacher has been forced to take leave while he stands accused of allegedly raping a 17-year-old learner.

The 52-year-old Science teacher was granted bail of R2,000 in the Wynberg Magistrates Court yesterday.

He handed himself over to police earlier this week
.
The man has been granted bail on condition that he makes no direct or indirect contact with his accuser.

The state says the 17-year-old learner, who attends an all-girls school, where the alleged accused is a teacher, is severely traumatised.

The man is a father of two and is still employed by the private school.


The case has been postponed to June, to allow the state time to consult with the complainant.
