Happydale Special School in Algoa Park, Gqeberha. (Candice Bezuidenhout/News24)
A teacher at a special needs school in Gqeberha has been fired following the alleged physical abuse of a female pupil in March last year.
Last month, News24 reported that the 16-year-old pupil was allegedly grabbed by the arm and dragged by her hair for several metres down the corridor of Happydale Special School in Algoa Park. The incident was caught on video.
The teacher was suspended for a short while but returned to the school pending the outcome of his disciplinary hearing.
