South African embassy under fire after teacher\u2019s assault in Shanghai goes viral YT: \ud0c0\uc784:\uc874 with JustNoluA South African kindergarten teacher, Nolusindiso Hleko, has shared a harrowing account of her alleged assault by her employer in Shanghai, China, in a YouTube video that has since gone viral. The incident has since sparked outrage and raised questions about the response of the South African embassy in China. In a video uploaded to YouTube titled \u201cMy Worst Year Abroad,\u201d Hleko stated, \u201cOn Wednesday, August 23, during a disagreement, the HR manager at my job, a guy, punched me in the face.\u201d She further detailed her traumatic experience, saying, \u201cI screamed and I was trying to get my cellphone so I could take pictures and videos of what was happening. Instead, he grabbed my phone and said he didn\u2019t have my phone anymore\u2026 I was running in the passage of this kindergarten trying to get help.\u201d Hleko recounted how one woman who could speak English was able to call the police, \u201cWhen we arrived at the kindergarten, they gathered everything that belonged to me on the table, telling me the reason they were preventing me leaving is because they wanted me to calm down so they can call the police to resolve the issue.\u201d Hleko later provided another update revealing her disappointment with the South African embassy. She stated, \u201cTo those who have asked me to contact my embassy, I did. They were the first number I called when this happened but sadly they don\u2019t even have an emergency number, so I wasn\u2019t able to get hold of them that day and when I finally did, they told me they would call me back and never did.\u201d The now-viral video has led to widespread concern and criticism of the South African embassy\u2019s response. South Africa\u2019s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) is now set to question officials at the South African embassy in China, according to a report from TimesLive. A DRICO spokesperson advised South Africans abroad, saying, \u201cIf South Africans in another country suffer abuse or are subjected to harm, they should report the matter to the police in that country and inform the embassy.\u201d In Hleko\u2019s case, however, she did both and was still left feeling \u201cpowerless\u201d in the situation. As of the latest reports, Hleko is safe in Germany while her viewers are calling for her to \u201cname and shame\u201d the school in question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
