Five students from Hoer Tegniese Skool in Klerksdorp have been suspended after video footage of them dousing a teacher in water and pelting him with other items went viral across social media platforms earlier this week, reports Cape town Etc .
In the video, a male teacher can be seen standing outside a restroom seconds before a student - dressed in overalls - exits the bathroom, quickly dumping a bucket of water on him and running away as fellow students can be heard cheering in the background.
Moments later, several masked students, also dressed in overalls and balaclavas, began pelting the teacher with what appeared to be water balloons as cheers and laughter continued in the background.
