    An Mthatha teacher is terrified of going back to school next week after his car was burnt inside the school yard, allegedly by a 16-year-old school pupil.

    This was after the teacher instructed the boy to take off a hat in the classroom. Later in the day, the child allegedly bought a container of petrol from a nearby garage and used it to torch the car.

    Dumisani Msulwa, 41, an English and Life Orientation teacher at Khanyisa Junior Secondary School in Mthatha's Payne Location, is still shocked after watching his relatively new Toyota Corolla go up in flames. "I was so shocked and horrified. I am even scared to go back to school now. If a child can do this, who knows what else he can be capable of?"

    Msulwa said he was not prepared to go back to school next week unless he was armed.
