Soweto teacher to appear in court for stabbing principal

A former teacher accused of brutally attacking a Soweto school principal will be back in court on Tuesday. Oria Molapo is expected to apply for bail in the Lenasia Magistrate's Court. Molapo was arrested last month after he allegedly stabbed Nomfundo Lebepe multiple times with a knife at the Paul Mosaka Primary School in Pimville. Molapo had been demanding to be re-employed after he was fired last year for lying about his qualifications. Molapo wanted to apply for bail on his first court appearance on the 16th of last month, but the magistrate declined citing the seriousness of the crime he's accused of. A handful of teachers were also present at court, demanding that he be denied bail. The Principal's family slammed Molapo's apparent lack of remorse on the day. The matter was postponed again on his second appearance as investigations were still ongoing. Molapo is likely to find out on Tuesday if he'll be released on bail. Source: sabc news
