According to Daily Sun ZA, the teacher bathed the student with
bleach, leaving her badly scarred. It was gathered that the teacher put
the child in bleach to punish her for wetting herself.
The incident happened last Wednesday at the Mmamerafe Early
Learning Centre. The child, who also struggles to speak properly, had
apparently been at the centre since she was six months old.
The incident, at a creche in Soshanguve, Tshwane, has been strongly condemned by the Gauteng social development department.
MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza was furious after hearing about what had happened to the child, reported to be autistic.
“The department is bitterly disappointed to hear of toddlers
being abused. It is currently National Disability Awareness Month, which
should provide us with an opportunity to inspire hope in the ability of
South Africans to address the challenges facing people with
disabilities,” said the MEC.
