A Gauteng forensic investigation report revealed that a former teacher at Laudium Secondary School in Pretoria went on paid maternity leave after lying about being pregnant.
The report is one of several released earlier this month by premier Panyaza Lesufis office after being withheld by various departments for years.
According to the report, Helena Jooste applied for maternity leave in June 2016, went on leave in August, and returned to work in December the same year.
