A staff member in one of the Eastern Cape’s top schools is set to apply for bail application following his arrest on allegations of sexually assaulting a minor.

The St Andrew's College, Makhanda staff member is not a teacher.

He has been placed on precautionary suspension.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Luxolo Tyali confirmed the staffer appeared in the town’s magistrate’s court on Monday.

He was arrested on Sunday.

“[He] appeared in court yesterday on a charge of sexually assaulting a minor. The bail application will be heard on 7 August 2023,” Tyali said.

The Dispatch understands the minor is a seven-year-old.

This is a developing story.
