Social media users were absolutely shocked when pictures of high school learners, with prominent scars on their bodies, were posted on Twitter. It was reported that the scars were because of coporal punishment.
@SimothoBiyela took to his Twitter account to raise awareness on the issue. He posted the pictures and left this caption on the tweet, “I thought corporal punishment was banned in schools, so how can a teacher “discipline” a child to this point?”
People were absolutely disgusting and angry that such a practice still takes place. Tweeps called for the complete abolishment of corporal punishment.

“Report the educator to the Principal, Circuit Manager, District Director, HOD of the Department and the Chief Director and make sure you have receipts that you have reported the matter. Such behaviour should not be allowed in this day and age.”
