A 53-year-old teacher from Zivuko Secondary School in Nkowankowa in Tzaneen is accused of impregnating a Grade 11 pupil and conducting sexual relationships with four pupils.

The scandal came to light after the teacher confessed to community leaders and asked for forgiveness.

Lord Ndlovu, a senior member of the local Community Policing Forum, said he called on authorities to continue investigating.

"The allegations surfaced for the first time last November and we confronted the teacher who promised not to do it again."

"The involved pupils said the teacher was in sexual relationships with four pupils from the school."
