BOSA demands Sexual Offenders Register is made public at all schools for parents to make sure predators are not teaching their children
17 April 2024
Today Build One South Africa (BOSA) Leader, Mmusi Maimane, alongside BOSA candidates, held a picket outside the Northern Cape Department of Education in Kimberley.
The picket was in solidarity with parents and families demanding justice and action against several teachers and principals in the public schooling system who have had cases of sexual assault opened against them with the police.
To date, at least 15 young girls, who wish to remain anonymous, have reported acts of sexual assault by teachers and principals. Despite this, the Northern Cape Department of Education continues to act in an antagonistic manner towards parents who are seeking accountability for these heinous acts.
School should be a safe environment for every child. However, in this province it is not the case. It is not only these 15 cases that are currently open – there is a string before them.
