SA teachers ‘under siege’ – activist
An education activist says South Africa’s educators are
under siege.
It is after three teachers were attacked last week.
A principal at a school in the Mpumalanga Township in KZN was shot dead on Thursday.
He had been sitting in his car outside the school when the incident happened.

Activist Hendrick Makaneta said the government needs to improve its efforts to make schools and communities safer.
"It appears that teachers are more vulnerable today than ever before. We know that the South African Police Services alone will not be able to protect teachers all the time because they are not always available," he said.
