Article-Summary: 

A 13-year-old boy who was so severely tortured and beaten by his teacher that he may never be able to father a child has become a loner, a truant and a bed wetter. Kenneth Mpofu from Daantjie tribal trust near Nelspruit enrolled at a new school this week but hasn't received any counselling and can't seem to break from the shackles of the abuse.
