A South African primary school teacher has earned hearts across the internet after a heartwarming video of his pupils gifting him a special mug went viral on TikTok.
The video, posted by the teacher himself, captures the pure joy and excitement of the students as they present their beloved teacher with a unique gift.
Sitting at his desk, the teacher unwraps a box with anticipation as his students watch with eager eyes. As he pulls out a Manchester City-printed mug, a wide smile instantly spreads across his face.
The mug, adorned with the inscription "You teach like a champion," perfectly encapsulates the way his pupils feel about their dedicated and inspiring educator.
Teacher opens up about his journey
Briefly News got in touch with the passionate teacher who shared that he got inspiration to pursue the career in grade 12 from his Life Sciences teacher Miss De Lange at Hillview Secondary.
"She didn’t have “class hours”, as she was available 24/7 365 for her learners. No questions were left unattended in her class. If she was not certain about something she would make a note of it, do some research and would give a reply the very next day.
"She even arrived at 6am so learners could have a morning study session at school. Thinking of her still gives me goosebumps. The happiness I get after seeing my learners who were struggling on top of their game is second to none," he shared.
@inkabi_yezwa added that since he works with a young group of learners, having a strong teacher-parent communication is very important.
"Keeping up with children can be a challenge. If it means I have to fight their parents for their good, I don’t hesitate," the Ferndale Primary School teacher said.
