MEC LERULE-RAMAKHANYA CONDEMNS THE ALLEDGED SEXUAL ASSAULT ON A GRADE R LEARNER |
MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya condemns the
alleged sexual assault on a Grade R learner from Mopani West Education District
with utter contempt. The learner who uses the parent initiative scholar
transport daily, to and from school was allegedly assaulted on her way from
school by the 44-year-old driver. The suspect has since been arrested.
In instances where learners are not using the
departmental scholar transport, the MEC strongly advises parents to vet the
drivers who transport their children to school.
‘Our prayers and heartfelt support go to the
victim’s family and the school community. The department commends the law
enforcement agency for their swift action in apprehending the alleged
perpetrator. We have confidence in our legal system that justice will prevail.’
MEC said.
