Windhoek — Newly elected Namibian National Teachers Union (Nantu) secretary general Loide Shaanika said the union will commit its energies to address love affairs between learners and their teachers that have resulted in some of the learners being impregnated.

Teachers in the classroom are seen as parents of learners and we need to conduct ourselves in a manner that learners feel safe in our hands," she said.
