6 Teachers Has Been Dismissed For Sxual Misconduct Since 2024 But One Remain Untouched
When school’s out, many teachers have side-hustles to keep busy. But one South African teacher, Buhle “Lulu” Menziwa, has stirred controversy with her latest venture—posing nuUde online!
Menziwa, dubbed as South Africa’s “richest” teacher, has been posting explicit pictures on her Instagram account in recent months. From a full-frontal nude in June to baring her bum most recently, her posts have sparked a debate on whether they’re appropriate for someone in her position.
Despite her hefty net worth of reportedly R7 million and her various side businesses including a clothing and skincare line, as well as endorsements, her risqué online presence has raised eyebrows, especially considering her role as a mathematics educator in KwaZulu Natal.
While some admire her fashion sense and curves, many argue that her provocative posts are not suitable for a teacher. Critics are calling for her dismissal, citing concerns about the impact her behavior may have on her students.
Menziwa, however, defended herself on Instagram Live, stating that her students are young and don’t have the same mindset as adults, so her actions shouldn’t be viewed in the same light.

Despite the Department of Basic Education not enforcing a dress code for educators, the public outcry continues, with many taking to social media to express their discontent and demand action against Menziwa. Some argue that her behavior undermines the professionalism expected from teachers and sets a bad example for impressionable students.
While opinions vary, the consensus among many is that Menziwa’s actions are not appropriate for someone in her position, and calls for her resignation or dismissal are growing louder.

The role of teachers in shaping the minds of our future is crucial. However, there’s been a troubling trend recently. Some teachers have been involved in serious misconduct, especially of a sexual nature.
Despite rules in place to prevent such behavior, the beginning of 2024 has seen six teachers fired for this reason. This has shocked communities and made people wonder if our current safety measures are effective enough.
When teachers engage in sexual misconduct, it’s a big betrayal of trust. They’re in positions of power over students who look up to them. Each case hurts not only the victims but also damages the reputation of schools and makes people lose trust in the teaching profession. This affects entire communities and gives education a bad name.
The recent firings highlight how urgent it is to deal with this issue properly. It’s not just about punishing those who do wrong; we need to understand why it happens and fix the system. Preventing misconduct is just as important as holding people accountable. We need a plan that promotes respect, awareness, and zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior.
Schools need to be more careful when hiring teachers. They should do thorough background checks to make sure they’re not hiring anyone with a history of misconduct. Teachers should also get regular training to remind them of proper behavior and how to spot signs of trouble.
It’s not just up to schools, though. We need help from outside too. There should be clear ways to report misconduct, and quick action taken when there’s a problem. Victims should have easy access to support services so they can get help.
And maybe we need to change the laws too. Punishments for offenders should be tougher, and schools should be held responsible if they don’t do enough to stop misconduct from happening.
