At Westridge Primary School, scandal rocked the teachers’ ranks when Thomas Chikanga, 51, and Nomathamsanqa Nyathi, 36, were caught in an adulterous affair.
Their illicit relationship came to light when Nyathi’s husband discovered them together in her bedroom one Saturday night. The revelation, first exposed by H-Metro, quickly spread throughout the school, becoming the talk of the day.
On the following day, the disgraced teachers reported for duty but left abruptly without conducting any lessons. The pressure from their colleagues and students’ scrutiny was too intense to bear. Messages exchanged between the two revealed their anticipation of future happiness together as a couple, despite the complications caused by their infidelity. Chikanga expressed his willingness to end communication with his ex-lover to appease Nyathi’s concerns.
However, the consequences of their actions were undeniable. Chikanga admitted feeling unsettled and overwhelmed by the attention and criticism they faced. The couple’s story dominated discussions at the school, with staff members expressing disdain for their behavior and the resulting disruption to school activities. Some teachers even skipped lessons in response to the scandal, feeling the weight of public judgment and the shame brought upon the school.
The atmosphere at Westridge Primary School was tense, with lingering whispers and disapproval shadowing the once-respected educators. The incident served as a cautionary tale, highlighting the consequences of infidelity and the impact it can have on professional and personal lives.
