Western Cape - A school principal has appeared in court on a rape charge after he allegedly impregnated a 13-year-old pupil.
The girl is now 14 and gave birth in July last year.
The 49-year-old made a brief appearance in the Clanwilliam Regional Court on Friday on a charge of rape.
The man was arrested in March after the pupil fell pregnant.
It is believed the sex attacks happened while she was kept after school for special classes.
The name of the school and principal cannot be revealed as it may identify the underage victim of a sex crime.
The principal has since resigned from his post.
The matter has been postponed to November 26 to allow the principal to secure legal representation for himself.
