CHAOS broke out at a school in Mpumalanga and cops had to use rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
Angry parents and pupils pelted police vans with stones.
The scuffle started after cops whisked a teacher away from the school and into a police van.
This happened at Mhlangana Secondary School in Islington in the Greater Manyeleti area of Bushbuckridge on Friday, 10 March.
They accused the teacher of allegedly bewitching their kids. They threw objects at speeding police vans and damaged the windows of the teacher's car, which was driven by a cop.

The school management called pastors who prayed for the kids. But fuming parents arrived and disrupted the prayer service, claiming they were not informed.
Upon arrival at the school, the SunTeam saw a crowd which was baying for the teacher's blood.
Some of the parents were seen struggling to calm their kids down as they moved wildly and started hissing like snakes while rolling on the ground.
"Bring the teacher here. Police and the principal hid her under the table in that block," said a mum.
"My child is in grade 12, and is now possessed and uncontrollable," she said.

Another mother (46) said: "We haven't slept since Wednesday. Our kids are hallucinating and seeing scary things."
She claimed the same thing happened in October 2022.
SGB chairman Adolph Machabe said the problem started last Wednesday, 8 March.
"It led us, the SGB, to sit down with the school management to discuss it before escalating it to the parents who also agreed that pastors could be invited to help us with prayers on the affected kids. But the same parents are causing a problem by disrupting the prayer service," he said.
Traditional Healer Dr Annuary Ndlovu said schools were under spiritual attack.
"So parents, school management and their SGB members have to join hands and consult a powerful healer or prophet to protect the kids and school management against such evil or Satanism spirits before it's too late."
Mpumalanga education spokesman Jasper Zwane said: "The department will send officials to the school next week to establish the circumstances that led to this development. The officials will thereafter submit a report with recommendations to be considered by the department."
Captain S'fiso Nyakane confirmed the teacher was rescued unhurt and taken to the Mhala cop shop for protection.
"A case of intimidation and malicious damage to property has been opened and investigations are underway," he said.
