Corporal punishment: Minister Groenewald suggests bringing back the rod. Education expert reacts
Speaking to Mandy Wiener on the Midday Report on Wednesday, Groenewald said the corporal punishment used would be lashes with a heavy or light cane - depending on the crime.
'The court must decide how many lashes, and with what type of cane.' he said.
Veriava says there's no evidence to suggest this as an effective mode of punishment or rehabilitation.
