While too ill to appear in the dock to answer to allegations of abusing one of his pupils at a Cape Town school almost 40 years ago, a retired teacher faces the possibility of being shipped back to the United Kingdom amid a renewed bid to have him extradited for similar crimes.
Mr P, who cannot be named in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Act, faces a plethora of child sex assault cases in the UK. He is expected to be ready for battle when the State requests a review of a magisterial court ruling.
The ruling found him not to be extraditable to face trial for his alleged crimes committed when he taught at the prestigious Ashdown House School, former UK prime minister Boris Johnson’s alma mater, as well as Brockhurst School in Berkshire.
