South Africans have taken to Twitter to express their shock at videos of what appears to be a nursery school teacher who seems to be hitting children while forcing them to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In one of the videos, it looks like the woman forces a small boy to clean a rug and then repeatedly hits him on the head before tossing him around and stepping on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another video, the same woman can be seen telling a crying girl to clean up her vomit and then starts to hit her on the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After watching the video @zee_pho23 tweeted: “My heart sank”. @BrittanyX0_ said: “Wow you don’t understand how much this brings tears to my eyes, poor baby.” And there have been calls for the perpetrator to be punished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have also been questions about why the person filming the incidents didn’t step in, though others felt that the films provided important evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response, the Department of Social Development has asked people to come forward if they have information on the woman:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Sowetan Live news site reports that the woman in question has been arrested and is awaiting a court appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
