A 51-year-old school principal has been arrested and charged with sexual assault following an incident that allegedly occurred at a local school in the Lebowakgomo policing area, under the Capricorn District on Saturday, 16 August 2025.
According to reports, a 17-year-old female learner went to the principal’s office to retrieve her cellphone that had been confiscated by her teacher during class time.
It is alleged that the victim made several attempts to collect her cellphone from the principal’s office but was unsuccessful as the principal was not available. On Saturday, when she returned to collect her cellphone, the principal allegedly instructed her to come alone to his office.
The victim informed her friend to wait outside before returning to the office, where the suspect allegedly touched her inappropriately and sexually assaulted her.
