Parents want teachers punished for caning pupils

Enraged parents of 10 pupils who were allegedly subjected to corporal punishment by teachers at Osborn Senior Secondary School in KwaBhaca (formerly Mount Frere), Eastern Cape, want action taken against the teachers.

A group of pupils living in the school's hostel were allegedly given lashings for making a noise on Monday.

One of the parents told Sowetan she was shocked when she received a WhatsApp voice note from her crying daughter. The mother asked not to be identified for the safety of her children.
