People of Limpopo seem to forget that they are a part of South Africa. Corporal purnishment has long been abolished in this country. They should lay a charge of Assult with intention to grivious body harm.

I'm feeling sorry for that child as wel as his parents. I think the teacher was not intentionally harming that child. Lets hope tht parents and a teacher will reconcile to each other.

Was this really caused by a dusted, im very sure that even if an Olypic Shot Put champions throws a duster on my head i won't sustain such an injury. It seems like someone was trying to experiment with the poor kid. The media people could have done a better job by giving us the picture before the Operation than making us hate the teacher. Im not condoning what the teacher has done in case you wondered why i say this.

This is the work of uneducated fools, whats is happening with this so called Teachers , why do they take out their frustrations on kids, The goverment has to have serious laws about school punishment.
ERIC MOKWENA - YOU ARE AN IDIOT , AND TO ALL THOSE TEACHERS WHO ARE LIKE YOU.
I Swear , what I have to about you or to you will not be allowed on this site.
JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE STUPID ,STUPID AND MORE STUPID for doing this to a school child.
Chances are the boy did his work properly you are just the stupid one you could not understand and yet you claim to be a Teacher , SIS MAN

TO THONSERISER, are you for real , if this was your child would you say "oh he did not mean to hurt they boy" c'mon man, what we are seeing even my 2 year all daughter can tell that this was not a mistake , c'mon are we not reading the same article or seeing the same picture?
LETS STOP TRYING TO BE NICE AND FORGIVING IN SUCH CASES, A CHILD HAS BEEN BADLY HURT AND THIS HE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE WITH FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND ALL YOU CAN SAY ,IS "HE DIDNT MEAN IT" then what did he mean,and why would the parents to make peace with a monster like this while their boy has to suffer for the rest of life which a huge reminder on his head, YOU KNOW WHAT , five letter word for you "THINK"

the problem lies with teachers and parents here.we have school gorvening bodies that are not seeing to it that the law is uphold. maybe parents are afraid of teachers as they are professionals. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. teachers use professional mechanisms to educate children, and not this barbaric kind of punishment.in apartheid years,many children left school because if this cruel punishment. grow mentally and show professionalism, and don't play with our old parents in those school gorvening bodies. i appeal to our justice system to impose harsh sentences to hooligans who committ these kind of offences
