“I’m hoping there’s no victimisation or anything that’s going to take place, I’m trusting that.”

On Wednesday, some students protested at the school in support of the teacher.

But the mother said her daughter is doing fine: “It’s not easy, but I feel that we will overcome this, we will get through this. She’s trying, she’s a strong girl, she will get over this.”

It’s not yet clear what steps the school will take against the teacher and the learner.
