MEC Panyaza Lesufi held a parents meeting at AB Xuma Primary School in Orlando East this morning to discuss a way forward regarding the sexual assault allegations and to give overall feedback on the matter.

Since the entire senior school management has been removed [including the principal], Gauteng Department of Education is trying by all means to find a permanent solution for the learners.

Learners who have been affected by the set of circumstances underwent counselling. Lusanda Hoyi on Facebook, sent a list of recommendations detailing how she feels the MEC should handle the situation at AB Xuma.

A day ago, MEC Lesufi expressed disappointment after it was announced that the number of sexually assaulted learners at AB Xuma Primary has sadly increased from 83 to 87.

He was quoted saying, “It is disappointing that we keep receiving such depressing information from our officials who are hard at work conducting necessary counselling at the said school”.
