THE reinstatement of a teacher, accused of raping his own minor daughter at Mitchells Plain high school has sparked outrage.

Gender-based violence organisations and the Community Policing Forum held a protest outside the Mitchells Plain high school last Friday where he works.

The teacher cannot be named because he is the biological father of the 15-year-old victim who was seven years old at the time that the alleged sexual assaults took place between 2017 and 2021.

He is currently making appearances at the Blue Downs Magistrates Court.

According to court papers, the teacher was granted bail of R1 000 in 2022 following his arrest. The case was registered with police in December 2021 by his estranged wife after his daughter broke her silence about the alleged sexual attacks.
