It gained some 290 replies and 1500 retweets within six hours of publishing.

The man has since been arrested.

#ReigerParkHigh trends after NSFW video of principle, students emerges

Reiger Park High School in Boksburg, Johannesburg became the latest school in the region to be rocked by teacher-related scandals.

The extremely graphic video appeared on @AdvBarryRoux’s Twitter account — a known parody of Advocate Barry Roux — where it received more than 800 retweets.

The video then quickly spread across the social network.

Users have expressed outrage at the video, calling for all who share it to be charged and arrested.

Gauteng Education later issued a statement on Twitter, with MEC Panyaza Lesufi expressing “disappointment and disgust”.

The department will also report the principle to the South African Council of Educators, but Twitter called for his arrest.
