SA teacher allegedly assaulted in Chinese school abroad now safe in Germany - Dirco

Post by smangele9764 »

A South African kindergarten teacher, who was teaching English in Shanghai, China, has safely left the country and is now in Germany after allegedly being assaulted by a human resources manager at the school.

Sporting a blue eye after the incident, Nolusindiso Hleko, a journeyed English teacher who had taught English in Busan, Korea, recorded a video detailing her harrowing experience in China, which saw her fleeing from the school without her phone, possessions, and shoes.

She said that after running out of the school, she managed to find a Chinese lady who assisted her in contacting the police.

“The HR manager punched me in my face during a disagreement. After he punched me and I was screaming trying to get out of his office, he grabbed my phone and said he didn't have my phone anymore,” Hleko recalled in a video posted on her YouTube channel.

The reality is that as a foreigner in a country learn your boundaries, not everyone would be so welcoming.

My first thoughts were to say you're brave for sharing this video, but you shouldn't even have to make a video like this because something like this shouldn't have happened to you, period. It's despicable because they know that the system is in their favor and they can simply get away with it. Don't feel bad about settling. Hoping your story is heard far and wide.

I’m so sorry to hear about this .
Sending thoughts and prayers 🙏🏽.

I am also a South African teacher teaching in Asia.

I would definitely advise to expose the school and send your story to Carte Blanche or any South African news channel.

Many South Africans need to be aware of the treatment we face in Asia even as professionals.

I'm so sorry Nolu. As a black woman I have worked in several Asian countries and China was the most challenging at so many levels. I agree with senzo 's comment, there are safer and and more enjoyable countries in the region, Taiwan being one of my favorites. Please don't underestimate the risks of talking while being there, it won't bring you justice and your safety and wellbeing are the most important. ❤🙏🏽

I am thinking the same. She is a foreigner and has no protection. She needs to go elsewhere ASAP if she can. It has to be lonely without family, friends, and a support system.😮‍💨 Best wishes to her.

To all my black Africans who travel abroad, do not live in any country that isn’t your home country by yourself. Building a community is extremely important especially as women.
This also applies to Western countries.
