   A 13-year-old girl reported that she was sexually assaulted on   
   the school premises in October.   
   A teacher from Thembelitsha Primary School briefly appeared at   
   the Knysna Magistrate’s Court on Monday November 12, Knysna-   
   Plett Herald reports.   
      
   He is charged with five counts of sexual assault and one for   
   sexual grooming.   
      
   Knysna police arrested the 49-year-old Zimbabwean teacher (who   
   has permanent residency) on Friday November 9 for alleged sexual   
   misconduct concerning a 13-year-old pupil.   
      
   According to Knysna police spokesperson Captain Thulani   
   Mondlana, a girl from the school reported on November 2 that she   
   was sexually assaulted on the school premises during October.   
      
   “It is alleged that on Monday 22 October 2018, in the morning   
   during school hours, the teacher sexually assaulted the learner.   
   As a result, two more learners aged 11 and 12 came forward with   
   similar allegations,” said Mondlana.
