A former teacher has made a brief appearance in the Wynberg Magistrates Court in Cape Town on charges of sexual assault.
The 83-year-old man used to teach at the Rondebosch Boys Preparatory School in the 80's where the alleged assault happened.
The organisation for Women and Men Against Child Abuse (WMACA) says the man who is only identified in South Africa as "Mr W" is facing extradition to the UK under similar charges.
WMACA Spokesperson Miranda Johnson says 40 victims have already come forward in the UK matter.
She says "Mr W" will be back in court on Thursday for him to plea.
The former math teacher and rugby coach, identified by the BBC as Iaian Wares, was named in the House of Commons in January when it was argued that he should not be afforded the protection of having a pseudonym in the press, which is Edgar.
In documents related to extradition proceedings seen by the BBC, Iain Wares travelled to the UK in 1967 for psychiatric treatment for his "problem".
