Every profession reflects societal demands in what to wear , what to say and how to behave. Especially teachers are bound to follow an unseen book of conventional guidelines to support them throughout.
It is quite natural everywhere for students to admire and respect their teachers. It doesn’t matter if that person is beautiful or not. Students look up to their teachers for inspiration and always will.
So, recently Lulu Menziwa, a South African teacher made quite a bit of news for apparently not following the scholl’s so called formal strict dress code.
Lufuno Mathoni, a twitter user tweeted Lulu’s pictures questioning about her position in the department. He even tagged Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi.

This tweet instantly went viral and attracted mixed comments. Whereas some supported him but there were comments slamming him like never before.

It's education swag. School kids must know that you can still be clean, dress well and be good looking. By not having income via twitter brand endorsements.We need more of this. If possible our teachers must try get permission to earn extra income so they can buy luxury cars also

Why shld kids wear uniform if teachers are dressed as if they r going to a club? Its a formal profession n needs formal presentable clothes, u can show off yo fency torn jeans n bling to yo peers over da wknd, impressing kids is a sign of being twisted

It’s that feeling man, that feeling of life has done you better and you project it from how you look and carry yourself. Bo antiza ba di pitikoti will be strong. Young blood is embracing the teaching profession and bringing their swag to the party!

1. Your kids just need to learn to respect their elders
2. Pretty sure some of the girls at school are impressed/inspired/motivated to see a female teacher looking that good— Morwa Mapholo (@The_HerbsZ) February 6, 2019

And the kids she has to stand in front of each day don't seem to think or see her in sexual way. Actually on these pics, they seem to love her. Stop sexualising women asseblief.
